Naveed showcases strong songwriting and emotional depth but lacks some cohesion in pacing.

What we noticed

• — The first three tracks feature a consistent mid-tempo pace, while the fourth track introduces a slower, more contemplative mood.
• — Several tracks utilize dynamic shifts, moving from quiet verses to explosive choruses, particularly evident in 'Starseed'.
• — The album's lyrics often explore themes of introspection and existential questioning, with a focus on personal experiences.

Significant within its genre. 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.
