Stormzy - Big For Your Boots

Like a whole miniseries in 9+ minutes.

I think of Stormzy more than anyone as someone put on pause by the pandemic, at least specifically in the U.S. He had a summer 2020 tour set here, was just starting to do Fallon and an hour-long Charlemagne interview when things shut down.

Anyway, love the new video, and this seems to put it into context for an outsider like me:

Stormzy is not just a great artist but a Black-British archivist, documenting history and giving people their flowers while they are around & even when they’ve passed on too soon (Jamal Edwards💐🕊)

title track and "my presidents are black" aside, i'm finding this is what i mean mopey and difficult to engage with

nobody listened to this huh?

bad album tbh

i wasn't impressed by the singles, he's just not very good at that sort of saccharine soul

might get around to the album but there's a lot to listen to in eoy season

gonna echo sean and say skip it
still really really like "presidents" tho!
