Dear Annie

Pitchfork 5.5/10 He’s so dedicated to synthesizing his most obvious influences—channeling Tyler, the Creator and N.E.R.D. down to their throat-clearing ad-libs and neo-New Jack funk—that he hasn’t quite established an identity of his own. That failing doesn’t dull the jams or diminish his evident potential, but it does hold him back.

NME 5/5 It’s a record that should rightfully become one of the defining hip-hop releases of 2018.

Evening Standard 3/5 At 20 tracks, it’s a sprawling debut, though his collaboration with Norwegian singer Anna of the North shows a sure touch for potential pop hits.

Loud and Quiet 6/10 Rejjie is a loveable rapper with a lot of promise when we can hear his personality, but he frequently fades into the background on his own album.

The Guardian 4/5 Though it’s hard to hear his Dublin roots on this long-awaited debut, Snow’s conversion to soft-voiced Brooklyn seducer is convincing and stylish.
