May 12, 2015Dance to it if you must, but enjoy Fading Love for what it is--a lovely, heartfelt set of tunes from a still-evolving composer and producer.
-
Apr 27, 2015Though these tracks are largely elegiac in tone, they still seek out the consolations of the dancefloor, delivering pulsing beats and warm surges of melody.
-
May 4, 2015Fading Love is set up to reward the same focus it demonstrates: if you dig into each new muted meditation and immerse yourself in FitzGerald's bubbling little temples of thought, you'll find yourself entranced.
-
May 27, 2015Fading Love combines emotional complexity with accomplished, evocative production to prove an exception to that rule.
-
May 11, 2015Fading Love feels like a transitional phase in the producer's journey, an accomplished springboard to launch a more definitive statement of intent next time round.
-
Apr 28, 2015The album cools down with ambient interlude "Miyajima" and midtempo closer "The Waiting," providing a patient ending to an album that gracefully deals with personal upset and disappointment.
-
MojoApr 27, 2015It's a record that benefits from a pervasive electro-melancholia induced by quaking analogue synths, dulcet arpeggios and fragile vocals, recalling fraternal, dark electro-pop mavens Disclosure. [May 2015, p.97]
-
Apr 27, 2015An elegant, heartbroken album that wraps its dance floor influence in thick pop overtones.
-
Apr 27, 2015Sometimes it's slick, sometimes it's heartbreaking, but it definitely sounds like it'll suit a festival scenario with lasers on lock... and it's definitely the sound of an artist finding themselves.
-
Q MagazineApr 27, 2015Fading Love is hard to fault on its own terms, but in a world where there's just so much music, sometimes being decent isn't enough. A bit of nastiness wouldn't go amiss. [May 2015, p.105]

Apr 27, 2015By stepping into this unfamiliar territory, he’s not only proved that he’s the dynamic and hugely talented producer that those early EPs hinted at, but he’s ended up just inches away from making that record he’s aiming for.
-
Apr 27, 2015FitzGerald's only musical foils are guest vocalists, so the contrast between fragile sentiment and driving rhythms feels obsessively and perfectly realized. It's pretty standard stuff, but it works because the album is full of subtly affecting moments that viscerally lock in to a magic-hour state.
