Reviews

"The Loop is a bombastic soul explosion with songs that jump from a rallying political cry, to grief over a friendship breakdown, to a sentimental ode to his young son, to whom he dedicates the album." - GQ


"With expansive symphonies of strings, horns, and soul-stirring choirs, The Loop balances grand orchestral arrangements with sparsely intimate ballads, showing off his most direct songwriting to date." - Rolling Stone


"'Hopes and Dreams', written just after the birth of his son, carries an awe-striking tenderness and the aura of a timeless classic." - Line Of Best Fit


"While immersed in Jordan Rakei’s marvellous fifth album The Loop, this scribe experienced déjà vu. Hmmm. When was the last time I was completely floored by an entire album’s worth of jaw-dropping vocal performances?" - The Music


"'The Loop' finds Jordan Rakei tapping into his creative core, returning to the aspects of music-making that bring him joy." - Clash
