Album Review: Future - EVOL

StarStarStarHalf Star

"Before he rushes off to his next project, let's celebrate what we've got here."

Charting Future's career path is near enough impossible. Just when you think you have a grip on where he's at, there's another mixtape, another direction shift.

The review written about a record released today will be rendered irrelevant tomorrow. So let's seize this moment. Lil Haiti Baby is a proper banger — stadium rap as victory lap. Lie To Me is an ecstatic electro swoon. Low Life, featuring The Weeknd behind the mic, is five minutes of understated, moody noir. It's as reflective as we've ever heard our host. We've pinned Future down for a moment. Before he rushes off to his next project, let's celebrate what we've got here.
