Air

"At times pretty, at others curiously appealing, 'AIR' is more-often-than-not simply boring, ca selection of mood music that fills up space without ever truly saying anything".

"Best New Music" - "In a dramatic departure from their previous output, the UK collective taps into the spirituality of choral music and contemporary classical in an uplifting, celebratory, utterly gorgeous album".

"There was little within Sault's first five albums to prepare the listener for what occurs here, and with such bold creative risks come the inevitable backlash. But Air eminently repays those risks. This is music for the rocky mountaintop that invites the listener to place themselves in the humbling context of a wider cosmos. Following a compass resolutely his own, Air sees Cover ascend to the realm of the similarly spiritual visionary Kamasi Washington. Where that compass takes him next, only a fool would guess - but the wise will follow".

"Neo-soul collective make leap to neo-classical: Producer Inflo's growing penchant for complex and dramatic orchestration was first showcased on "Introvert" from Little Simz's 2021 album 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert', but here he dedicates a whole album to it, in a seven-track, beats-free, 45-minute-long suite that is impressive in its execution - wordless male and female choral voices conspiring with washes of strings and percussive brass to create swirling atmospheres - but all to frequently tends towards the bombastic. There are moments of real beauty (Cleo Sol's multi-layered vocals in the coda of "Time Is Precious"; the slow-burning title track), and 'Air' may well prick up the ears of film producers looking for new scoring talent".
