"Together, Glasper and his collaborators bring all of their varied experience to bear on Collagically Speaking, a far-reaching, organically realized set of tracks that feels surprisingly balanced, despite the genre-bending nature of the project and strong artistic personalities involved. Primarily, they craft ambient, groove-based soundscapes that allow for both melodic hooks and more probing, improvisational sections".

"Singing, rapping andspoken-word float through these tracks, as do soulful improvs fromAdjuah, Glasper and others, but what lingers is the overall aura: ano-seams-showing blend of jazz, R&B and hip-hop, with a spontaneous"3 a.m. in the studio" feel".

"... Collagically Speaking, feels shaded by the chaos of contemporary politics without wallowing in it. It is a largely meditative offering that functions as a reprieve from the daily flood of negativity and presidential tweetstorms. Mixing Quiet Storm R&B, 1970s jazz-funk fusion, cosmic soul, and instrumental hip-hop, Collagically Speaking features a cross-section of top-tier musicians lending their voices to the fluid set".
