The pick of the albums we’ve reviewed on these pages during the past seven days is Dave’s second album We’re All Alone In This Together – here’s your chance to revisit the review and check out the album via Spotify.

“Theory: we long ago reached a tipping point where the concept of British rap (or any of the numerous subplots to it) became redundant, with trans-Atlantic comparisons now pointless, but also because it crossed over some time ago from compromising itself to become mainstream to now being the mainstream.”

“If Stormzy followed the route which pioneers like Kano and Skepta had trailblazed, mythically paving the streets of his own manor with gold, Dave then stormed across this bridgehead with Psychodrama, a startling debut from a creator who was barely 21 on its release.”

“With both a Mercury Prize and BRIT Award for Best Album, the establishment was subsequently moved (or forced, depending on your view) into acknowledging that, as in America, the sounds of the country’s immigrant diaspora are now the driving forces in popular music.”
