Black Sherif trades grim street narratives for warmth and romance on his six-track EP. The lighter mood is deliberate, and it also costs him some gravity.

AratheJay's six-track EP sets church music against late-70s disco. The review finds strong moments, especially 'ROVER', but says the two halves never quite meet.

AratheJay rebuilds his debut album with a full band on 'The Odyssey (Live)'. The result is a strong case for live musicianship over backing tracks.

Gyakie's 17-track debut has strong Afro-R&B and highlife moments, but the length and the interchangeable ballads undercut them. The review argues the album needed an editor.
