    @1:50 fanatical junglist since 1995, here; and that is what i initially thought myself. i had heard (and loved) "Forbidden Feelings," "Baiana," and her remixes for Jorja Smith and Fred Again before; but when i first heard tracks like "Crowded Rooms" and "Unfinished Business" i was like "eh, i respect the artistry and eclectic mix of influences, but it's a little too poppy for my tastes." But upon literally the second listen, i became hooked and obsessed, and have had this album on repeat for weeks. Maybe i'm just getting soft in my old age, but i can't get enough of her.
    Glad to see her getting some much deserved praise, and if this album doesn't get (at the very least) nominated for a BRIT award, it will be a travesty.

I mean it makes total sense that he'd be into that type of music but i never thought i'd hear a non-british person sing his praises like that. he actually references a song by the streets on 'party all the time' off XXX but i thought it was a coincidence until i researched the background of the song after he spoke about mike skinner and how a grand dont come for free is one of his favourite albums
