This is Bellion’s first album in almost seven years, despite having writing credits on some huge tracks since then. ‘FATHER FIGURE’ is a monumental chapter for the artist, who walked away from his solo career after a messy legal battle to reclaim his masters. The weight of his return is distinctly present in the music, which grapples with themes of family, fatherhood and legacy in some of his most raw and vulnerable songwriting yet. While still packed with the larger-than-life, genre bending production that Bellion is known for, his impressive vocals and passionate rap verses are very much the vocal point, reinstating him at the helm of his musical journey.
