“This album has elements that made me believe Brent was taking his sound more towards that old school dance RnB sound but so many times he reverted to his safe standard formula for songs. That’s not to say there’s not good music here for some and those songs that do go for that sound I think do so very well. The lead single for this album although I enjoy I didn’t think needed the heightened vocals. A good comeback for Brent but needed a much more decisive theme and better narratives to captivate me more. FAVOURITE TRACKS: other side., world is yours., pure fantasy. LEAST FAVOURITE TRACKS: four seasons., strangers., vanilla sky. See the full review on tt @tracklisted0 soon —>>”
“The title said it all. It’s 12th Feb, two days away from valentine’s and I still can’t move on from a semi-heartbreak I got from my failure of a situation-ship. This album legit had me making made-ups conversations in my head, like all the what-ifs could happen if I said something or said nothing at all, and it’s groovy enough for me to just bop my head too. 10/10–no skips, genuinely.”
“Reviewing 2026 projects: Project: #012 Title: Icon Artit: Brent Faiyaz This project is interesting, every track is completely different to one another, yet still works together to some extent. Each track is an absolute vibe as well. Some of it felt a bit underwhelming though, but overall decent project. Simplified rating: 7/10”
“Really great album!! My favorite songs, being four seasons, butterflies, pure fantasy, vanilla sky, wrong face, and white noise”
