    Akpro's narcotic melodies grip tight as dubby bass lines (played by Akpro) probe alongside loping beats, flickering embers of guitar, saxophone haze and the singer's sultry delivery. [Jul 2025, p.80]

    Sam Akpro finds a fascinating way to piece together the present time, and in return has produced his finest work to date in an introspective, yet also reflective fashion detailing the complex yet compelling world.

    There's an enduring warmth to the record that comes from the fuzz of psychedelia that holds everything together. [Apr 2025, p.27]

    Gloomy and often claustrophobic – much like the city that birthed it – ‘Evenfall’ is an intricate snapshot.

    Akpro’s debut is a dark, winding ode to the UK capital, grounded in his own experiences and expressed with a subtle mystery. This sense of nuance – often missing so early in an artist’s journey – makes for one absolutely captivating listen.

    Akpro sounds like he's still finding himself, but his first album is an evocative mixture of nocturnal city scenes and youthful expression, and there's no telling where he'll go from here.
