The scope of Kill For Love is one that words can’t adequately capture, but the imagination it fires can. Wilful, startling and effortless, we have a winner

While the record works just fine as an ad for Jewel’s considerable soundtrack smarts, Kill for Love is also one of the finest records to surface this year

Consequence Of Sound
With Kill For Love, it almost feels like Jewel’s true thesis, as if he’s strung together all his ideas, feelings, and sounds into one colossal being that acts less like an album and more like a highly organized archive

It’s the kind of magnetic work that makes everyone else look off their game. Its power and poise never ceases for 90 wonderful minutes. It’s infinity trapped inside a record-sleeve, never has the world ended so tenderly

The Line Of Best Fit
For the vast majority of its runtime, Kill for Love nails the very specific shade of baroque melodrama that Chromatics, and particularly Johnny Jewel, have been chasing for the last five years

Chromatics are ever conscious of how the movement of time can shape the way we listen to a song, and are masters at manipulating that to their advantage
