    The emotional excavation Jayda G has done with her sophomore album is admirable to witness and a joy to hear.

    There's so much clarity and hope to be found in Jayda G's marriage of production with songwriting that any cloying moments are easily forgiven.

    On Guy, she takes time to steady herself to her inner metronome, finding her voice with her dad’s help.

    Guy is an admirable and occasionally affecting project that balances personal vulnerabilities with uplifting and life-affirming music.

    Its structure of pop songs threaded together with interview clips makes it feel a bit more essay-ish than the debut, which was named after a phrase Jayda often used in her final thesis. That said, Jayda does a magnificent job connecting deeply personal stories with accessible music.

    The record is an achievement of pop-house production, and Jayda's performance throughout is earnest and enthralling — It's a strong effort and vital evolution in her ever-shifting career.

    There are catchy and effective tracks here, though also a niggling sense that she has turned her considerable talents towards sounding more like everybody else.

    This is nice, in comparison with "Significant Changes" of 2019, this is a nice step aside from the experimentation and ambientation she wasThis is nice, in comparison with "Significant Changes" of 2019, this is a nice step aside from the experimentation and ambientation she was proposing at the beginning. This album is very well just another face of the talent and visions that Jayda G has for her personal music career. It also feels like a personal enjoyment, but if she manages to explore and exploit her talent in ambitious ways... she might become a very important figure in the dance, club and house industry. Hopefully she grows to be incredible. Full Review »
