Album Review: Tinie Tempah - Demonstration

30 October 2013 | 10:33 am | James d'Apice

Only Shape, a mesmeric trip with a neat Big Sean guest spot, is worth more than a cursory listen. Avoid this.

More Tinie Tempah More Tinie Tempah



For fans of either rap music or pop music, few artists make as little sense as Tinie Tempah. He lacks the technical skills to engage even the most forgiving of hip hop heads. He lacks the charisma to capture the hearts of pre-teens and the wallets of their parents. And yet, here we are: in a world where TT is somehow critically tolerated and commercially embraced. Someday is saccharine nonsense. Don't Sell Out is drudgery. Only Shape, a mesmeric trip with a neat Big Sean guest spot, is worth more than a cursory listen. Avoid this.
