    Emotive and delicately intertwined with lush vocals and slices of upbeat moments (‘The Answer’), not for lack of trying, is a sensational project from dodie.

    Throughout the album, hidden instrumental flourishes surface with repeat plays, though some stay too buried. Elsewhere, the decadent production swallows her breathy voice (‘The Answer’, ‘Hold Fire’).

    For newcomers, it may feel too uniform to stand out. But for longtime fans, Not For Lack of Trying offers cosy autumnal listening and a continued exploration of dodie’s style.
