"Cult Nigerian electro-funkster William Onyeabor, whose 70s and 80s music experienced a renaissance in recent years, sadly died last month, but he has a spiritual successor in Ahmed Gallab, AKA Sinkane ... Sinkane has nowhere near the fame he deserves; may this be the album that gives you life".

"The work of London-born, Sudanese artist Ahmed Gallab, aka Sinkane, blends styles including sub-Saharan pop, shoegaze, and afro-rock. More than ever, his new album has the feel of a democratic band ... The highlife bluster and catchy hooks of Life & Livin' It are sweet as taffy, like a bright sunburst of positivity that could melt ice".

"Life & Livin' It isn't as rich as previous offerings have been; the delicate but effective nuances are replaced by a streamlined sound rolled out at the expense of his more imaginative compositions. That said, his influences are worn lightly, the melodies remain inventive, and there is a real elegance to Sinkane's music. Hopefully next time he'll get back in the driver's seat".

"Sinkane delivers a glorious and natural blend of Krautrock, soul, Sudanese pop, desert groove and engaging falsetto vocals. The single U'Huh, with its North African brass and Onyeaboresque keys is one of those which works its way under your skin. - "Good"".
