  3. 6.0 |   The List

  5. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

  6. 6.0 |   NME

    Taken on its own merits, there are more than enough moments on ‘Back On My BS’ to stop the world from forgetting his name. The pity is that, given he’s one of rap’s most distinctive voices, right now Busta seems to have no idea who he is

Lorde  Virgin

Because for all the grand ideas here, it feels like Lorde has more to say about them, and as the aesthetic and songcraft of Virgin illustrates — almost despite all of this — she is more than skilled enough to do so Beats Per Minute

Frankie Cosmos  Different Talking
