Lowland

Higher than 2% of albums we've rated

The album features solid R&B grooves with some engaging moments but lacks standout writing that elevates it significantly.

What we noticed

• — The first three tracks feature a consistent mid-tempo groove, establishing a smooth R&B feel before introducing more varied tempos in later songs.
• — The final track is an extended club mix of the lead single, which shifts the energy and serves as a contrast to the preceding ballads.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
