Coming in at a breezy 23-minute and 21-seconds playtime from start to finish, Illuminati Hotties' 2020 selection of venom, heartbreak, and even a dollop of hope to keep you on your toes that can be found in FREE I. H. This Is Not The One You've Been Waiting For is well worth filling in the blanks of a spare half an hour if you're looking for a challenging and/or moving time.

For all of the evident rage and frustration that's manifested in the tearing down of the concept of "freedom" in free ppls and call and response calling out of a screen and consuming-obsessed reality in content//bedtime, there's still room for experimentation, most notably in the Afropop fusion unveiled in melatonezone.

Highlighting the sheer depth of her vocal range and quality throughout, Sarah Tudzin goes from dancing her way through a cheeky yet tragic frequent letdown to roaring her way through the violent superiority cleanser (big noise) before finally sending us on our merry way with a grateful ode to your chums in reasons 2 live.

If variety is the spice of life, then prepare to revel in this very much overlooked nugget of epic proportions.
