Apr 18, 2025It feels like Thee Black Boltz at its core: the artist laying bare his own angst through a catharsis that feels not bleak but euphoric.
-
Apr 21, 2025Highly accomplished, elegantly performed, wonderfully sung, this is an album by a master craftsman using his keen ear to create something beautiful. The man has never missed.
-
Apr 17, 2025On Thee Black Boltz, Tunde Adebimpe is a wholly unplaceable spirit. He’s thriving in collaboration, meditating in creative anima and untethered by expectation—still evolving; still electric.
-
Apr 16, 2025He still remains guided by the same restless and creatively unburdened spirit that has defined TV on the Radio. However, it is evident that ‘Thee Black Boltz’ is Tunde Adebimpe’s storm to weather, his vision unfiltered with a clarity that makes the collection strikingly his own.

MojoApr 16, 2025More a shiny recalibration of TVOTR's high-density art rock than a radical restart, especially of their more electronic, funky and pop-facing side. [May 2025, p.90]

UncutApr 16, 2025Though the apple doesn't fall far from the electronic/art-rock tree, the writing isn't as fully realised as TVOTR's and the playing lacks their meaty resonance. [May 2025, p.27]
