Fucked Up One Day
Fucked Up’s One Day possesses a brightness and sense of happiness that’s addictive and optimistic, even if the lyrics at times insinuate the opposite PopMatters
Sam Smith Gloria
The singer has broken new ground, but their fourth album is less revelatory The FT
One Day is brimming with energy and the barely contained desire to be heard over the shouting of those around them; it's as viscerally effective as anything Fucked Up have ever recorded and smart enough to speak to the mind as well as the heart All Music
Samia Honey
Whether autobiographical or a thought exercise, Honey is evocative and often relatable, if in turn inevitably alienating and mercurial All Music
Yet another excellent album from one of the best bands out there. Even just one day of Fucked Up is something to be treasured Paste Magazine
Exploring self-acceptance and self-growth with soul-tinged pop DIY
A fourth album features Kim Petras, Ed Sheeran, Jessie Reyez and Koffee, and showcases a voice that makes everything sound listenable. But of terrific moments there are too few musicOMH
SG Lewis AudioLust & HigherLove
The producer’s follow-up to Times is a classy set of tunes with well chosen guests and a concept around the central theme of love musicOMH
A turbo-charged second album is more ambitious and impressive than anything the producer and songwriter has made before NME
His 2021 solo debut Times topped the UK dance chart and, the follow-up offers more of the same adrenaline rush. Print edition Uncut
The album feels like an assemblage of enjoyable ingredients that doesn’t coalesce Slant Magazine
If you love the dancefloor and are willing to expand your tastes a little, this is the album you need to blast on repeat The Line Of Best Fit
He dances on, just this time with a different outlook DIY
Unshackled by this lingering desire for overarching grand narratives, is the purest distillation of that "lightning in a bottle" frenzy, capturing the collective's creative spark at its most urgent — that is: less bells, all whistles Exclaim
It’s a remarkably sure-footed, brilliantly confident record and one that condenses the greatness of Fucked Up into a bite size treat Under The Radar
