Kanye West reviews - from "stunning" to "embarrassing"

"West's greatest talent has always been his ability to lead as a genius creative director. From soaring choirs to redemptive synths to even a wailing Kenny G solo—the music itself is stunning" - Esquire says in a review of Kanye West's new album 'Jesus is King. NME writes how "‘Jesus Is King’ lacks the goofball sense of humour that always made Kanye West albums so much fun. But what’s been sacrificed has been partly compensated for with warmth and hope for the future". "It reminds you of the preachers on street corners shouting at passers-by that they’re going to hell – you feel uncomfortable and vaguely embarrassed on their behalf" - Independent.
