It’s more minimal than The xx, more romantic than the most heartsick R&B, with drums pulled straight from ’70s studio sessions. In other words, it’s a lot of things, while still sounding like nothing else out there

As an emblem of what Milosh is capable of – magnetic vocals, unshakable melodies, arrangements that are both delicate and robust – it’s a triumph

The Skinny
The conversational tone gives the song a sense of emotional verisimilitude, while the production exudes a superbly polished sheen – the twin tenets that make BLOOD so effective

The Line Of Best Fit
Milosh’s vocals are as beautiful as ever, and the lush tones that paint the album wash over you like a silk bedsheet. Sometimes, subtlety does prevail

Although it doesn’t get us there as fast as Woman, maybe it’s because it’s a bit too familiar. However, the familiarity is comforting and leaves us longing to return to its touch

Fans of Woman might derive some enjoyment from this, but anyone hoping for more evolution may be disheartened by how frequently Milosh plays it safe
