Stereogum's Album of the Week: Skepta's 'Ignorance is Bliss' - tension is what animates the music
Share
"All the tenets of grime are still there — the jittery drums, the minor-key synthetic melodies, the choppy tension... While Skepta still raps with speed and precision, he does it with a sense of discipline and authority that feels new" - Stereogum writes about their latest choice for Album of the Week, Skepta's fifth studio album 'Ignorance is Bliss'". SG says he's "crafted a heavy, relentless album. This time around, tension, rather than catharsis, is what animates the music".
