UGLY
Slowthai's new album
Ugly (also referred to as UGLY, an acronym for "U Gotta Love Yourself") is
the third studio album by British rapper Slowthai. It was released on 3
March 2023 through Method Records and Interscope Records. The album
features Slowthai introducing punk and rock elements to his sound, which
received acclaim from critics. Ugly comes after Slowthai's critically
acclaimed 2021 album, "Tyron". In a statement, Slowthai revealed that he
"wanted to emulate the brotherhood ethos that bands have". In an interview
with The Fader, Slowthai discussed how this is his most personal album yet
and the new direction he has taken sonically. In another interview with
Apple Music after the release of the album, he stated the following:
"delving into this gave me that freedom again, I felt inspired. I wanted
to do something new and challenge myself, rather than just doing what's
expected of me." Upon release, Ugly was met with widespread acclaim from
music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100
to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of
83, based on 13 critical reviews, indicating "universal acclaim" . For
"Feel good" video rapper suprprised some fans in their homes, listening to
his new track and then dancing/vibing together.
My personal favorites: YUM, Selfish and Feel Good (which I've actually
heard live during Slowthai's performance at FEST Festival, August 2022).
Everyone from the front to the back, repeat after me
