Michal Gutman - 'Never Coming Home'

8/10

After originally breaking through with her stunning debut single 'Architecture' back in March, Israeli artist Michal Gutman has been quick to establish herself as one of the more compelling names emerging right now. Creating this beautifully diverse and alluring direction that conjures a multitude of enigmatic directions and genres, she has already captured plenty of ears with her dynamic presence so far. And now she looks to cement her immersive legacy to date with her hotly-tipped debut album 'Never Coming Home', a record brimming with heartfelt emotion throughout.

Continuing what 'Architecture' taught us about her sound, 'Never Coming Home' builds upon those vibrant foundations and sees her push the boundaries of her aesthetic as far as they will go. Keeping one foot firmly rooted in an experimental guise with the other adopting a more commercial edge, this new eight-track collection is a truly innovative listen from beginning to end. With tracks like 'Behki' and 'This Is Easy' exploring their own unique avenues, she pursues this brilliantly captivating direction that fills the album with plenty of surprises at every turn.

While things are still only just getting started for her right now, 'Never Coming Home' is a strong and confident message of intent for her future. Oozing with such a fresh and intriguing perspective, Michal Gutman is definitely a name worth keeping a firm eye on for the months ahead as well.
