"Not only is 'I Came From Love' the best album that Okumu has released but it's one of the finest albums of the year so far ... 'I Came From Love' is tapestry of black experience wrapped up in with glorious melodies, catchy choruses and dripping in emotion. On it Okumu talks about his families past, slavery, growing up in Vienna, the disconnect of visiting Kenya and how living in a society, and world, can make you bitter. But this isn't a bitter album. As the title suggests it's about over coming bitterness, hate and isolation with love. Coming from love saved Okumu and, if you give the album a chance, it could save you too".

"Multi-genre trailblazer's dissertation on black existence, featuring Grace Jones ... It's unabashingly weighty stuff, fiery and possessed of a powerful melancholy ... An often challenging, always thrilling triumph that rewards deep listening and re-listening ".
