Sincere, wide-ranging and deeply personal, Loyle Carner’s 2017 debut Yesterday’s Gone is nothing short of brilliant. Sitting in stark contrast to the harsher sounds coming from other South London MCs, he stands out for his languid vocal delivery and confessional lyrics. Forget every stereotype you know of the puff-chested womanizer - here we have a rapper who’s prepared to bare his soul. And what lies there? A guy who enjoys making pancakes, second-guesses the text he sent to a girl at 2am and whose mum calls him a ‘shmoo’. At points, the intimacy gauge swings so high that it feels less like an album and more like a diary recital; secret confessions, inner-most thoughts, vulnerability and all. The stunning opener The Isle of Arran gets things rolling with a flood of euphoria and emotion, paring a gospel choir with clever wordplay that questions God and the effect of having an absent father (“There’s nothing to believe in, believe me”). Carner starts the record as he means to go on - centred in domestic life, an anchor that clearly extends well beyond his creative output. On Swear he teases his mum for her bad language while on Sun of Jean, which describes his close bond with his family, his mum recites a poem over a piano played by Carner’s late father. Aside from family, we’re treated to a kaleidoscope of other topics and life experiences. Whether they’re layered sensitively over jazzy interludes and lofi beats or punched out over high-energy basslines, Carner’s astute observations always hit the mark. Nominated for a Mercury prize and lauded by fans and critics alike, this record catapulted Loyle Carner onto the main stage of hip-hop. And it’s obvious why. © Abi Church/Qobuz
