    A record that’s as skilled in pop immediacy as it is emotional expression; a lyrical gaze that looks as deeply inside as out; an artist who, on this debut album, can seemingly do just about anything.

    Crucially, the ferocity of Berwyn’s talent and the piercing beauty of his crackling, folk-R&B croon mean these heavy topics are never a burden. An inspiring, educational album – it should be on the national curriculum.

    Who Am I is an engaging and emotionally intense debut, which works well as a showcase for this multi-talented young artist.

    Minor frustrations do present, though they are quickly dispersed. ALL SHE EVER WANTED, which feels like disposable Radio 1 fodder, transitions into HATE and DEAR IMMIGRATION, pillars of brilliance from which BERWYN confronts systems of power that engage in active oppression: moments that affirm BERWYN’s voice and salience as an important figure in British music.
