Overview
Kendrick’s surprise album, ‘GNX’, is a commendable effort in storytelling and a bold departure in sonic exploration. The album effortlessly blends introspective themes with sharp social commentary, however, it feels less cohesive than his previous work. The GNX car serves as a central motif, tying the project together beautifully as a symbol of ambition and the burdens of success, and Kendrick’s intricate lyricism is complemented by a diverse array of production styles, leaning towards a more minimalistic feel throughout. While the collaborations are not as strong as expected, SZA delivers a notable standout performance. There’s a sense that Kendrick could have offered more here, but the album is certainly worth a listen for its artistry and ambition.

Recommended for Kendrick fans looking for a introspective look into the artist’s ambitions and burdens.

It's a cool, calm, and suave album cover. Featuring the GNX car that inspired Kendrick’s theme for the album was an absolute must, and it’s utilised perfectly here.
