slowthai shows us that if we stop seeking perfection, we might discover our own treasures, and similarly, if we can find the tragic beauty in imperfection, we might begin to appreciate people for who they are instead of hating them for what they are not. Like Ty says, if you can “love the world for its flaws, you’ll never be disappointed”. It is a call to aspire to wholeness instead of goodness. The album is an antidote for a world filled with suffocating expectations and manicured virtual lives that are often mistaken for reality. If anything he reminds us to make peace with our own inner junkyard, to evolve, create, and learn from it. Mazza marks the third offering from Tyron, following Nhs and Feel Away, featuring James Blake and Mount Kimbie, both of which appear on the album’s softer second half. What is refreshing about TYRON is that the album doesn’t shy away from the mess. A resistance to the rising tide of moral one-upmanship and the pervasive self-righteousness that blinds us to our own fallibility. His ability to bear his imperfections and contradictions makes his latest an album that is the antithesis of a culture of purity. TYRON is a melodic dive through the expansive landscape of his feelings. Instead of succumbing to such simplicity, TYRON presents an artist who is unabashedly complicated and willing to explore themes of loneliness, identity, self-acceptance, and the difficulties in becoming an individual. TYRON was formed against the backdrop of an unforgiving climate where judgement, shaming and underdeveloped and simplistic conceptions of other people are fashionable. Friend and US label boss Rocky enhances the track with his recognisable flow – the inspiring swagger of these two trailblazing rappers back to back is seriously impressive stuff. Premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 only moments ago and confirmed as DJ Target’s Targo Embargo tonight, this track is taken from the more acerbic first half of TYRON and is produced by slowthai and SAMO (“T N Biscusits” and “nhs”).įearless and fervent its bone-shaking bassline brings slowthai’s distinctive sound back into sharp focus.
