Alela Diane’s new album ‘Cusp’ (out now via AllPoints) was one she felt would be considered taboo in the industry, given it is written solely about her experiences as a mother. The result, however, was an album of beauty and depth, light and shade and with a lyrical honesty and vocal soulfulness Alela Diane is known and loved for. [Click on header to cont.].
The album was massively acclaimed and described as “Stunning” (Uncut 9/10), “Beautiful” (Sunday Times Culture) and “Outstanding” (The Guardian ****). Some of the print reviews below.
