Professor GreenAfter 2012’s At Your Inconvenience, he probably couldn’t have plunge any deeper. That’s not the only reason Growing Up In Public has a redemptive edge, though. Green can still turn his sharp tongue to those who irritate him, but this release has him reveal another layer. Fast Life, ostensibly a “poor little rich boy” whinge, is surprisingly resonant. We learn he no longer looks like his passport photo. The album includes more hints of an emerging “new man”. It’s a long path to redemption but with this Green’s taken a step in the right direction.
