Kwes has largely existed behind the scenes producing material for artists as diverse as Speech Debelle, Micachu and The xx. Now he steps into the spotlight with a debut album that rolls out the blueprint for his unique sound. As it turns out Kwes is a crooning romantic and his icy cool and clear vocals sensitively deal heartfelt lyrics with plenty of emotion. Under the vocals are darkly experimental electronic textures and that brutal UK bass which gives this record plenty of bottom end. A pop record that comes completely out of left-field, Kwes gives us a complete original.
