"As a whole, Freedom Fables is a beautifully integrated, physical approach to song and narrative; it's a musical adventure as substantive structurally as it is enjoyable viscerally".

"Nubiyan Twist are a superlative live band and the tunes on their second album, Freedom Fables, are perfect for the stage. The music is driven by a harmonic horn section accompanied by guitar and keyboards, anchored by a solid rhythm section and fronted by a range of guest vocalists of diverse styles. The melodies and vocal hooks of the tunes swiftly and firmly embed themselves in the listener's head".

"Stacked with features - including Ghanaian singer Pat Thomas and Londoners Soweto Kinch and fine, Tomorrow's Warriors alumna Cherise Adams-Burnett - it's an elegant yet earthy hybrid of jazz, UK soul and highlife, with a broad mood range. Highlights are "Buckle Up" (with Kinch on saxophone and rap bars) and "Wipe Away Tears", an exercise in breakbeat-driven fusion".
