"On the first song “Smile”, Kalumé breaks away into a Tamil sentence and quickly returns to singing in English seamlessly.
It’s these kind of surprises that make the artist stand out, offering diversity in songs like “Far Away” – groovy and somewhat melancholic – while “Life” lays emphasis on his seemingly gender-fluid voice over reverb-heavy arrangements."
Anurag Tagat, RollingStone India
"Soulful, beautiful and original music"
