    Tears in the Club acts as yet another testament to Kingdom’s skill as an innovative musician; many try to fuse inspirations from numerous styles, eras and artists, but few do it quite so effortlessly.

    Kingdom's debut album is all pop. Not in the formulaic sense, but in its sophisticated amalgam of everything that is skilled and aesthetic from both mainstream club production and underground dance subgenre. [Mar 2017, p.49]

    They’re futuristic, sophisticated, catchy, and psychedelically wrought. However, they’re also deeply depressive.

    The tracks without vocal turns are left feeling slightly lacking, but the killer outweighs the filler.

    For his part, Kingdom continues his exploration of experimental R&B.

    Tears in the Club is a disappointingly genteel work, from an artist known for anything but.

    Ultimately, Tears In The Club could have been a nearly flawless six-track EP--though the filler doesn't detract from the more noteworthy tunes on here, it doesn't really contribute either.
