    ____ Swindle has been writing his fifth album for 3 years. "No More Normal" is an attempt to stylistic limitations, to expand musical boundaries, combining genres and stratifying their time contexts. The past and present of the music are intertwined into one composition and become one album, without losing relevance for any connoisseur of genres.

"No More Normal" is an attempt to stylistic limitations, to expand musical boundaries, combining genres and stratifying their time contexts. The past and present of the music are intertwined into one composition and become one album, without losing relevance for any connoisseur of genres. Cameron just found a middle ground: and now, against the backdrop of chic jazz orchestrations, we slish modern beats, intriguing changes in the rhythm and performance of artists of different genres.

    ____ Wonderful album! Impressed and long remembered. Especially: California and Talk a Lot.

    No More Normal showcases UK talent proudly, but bringing so much of it together, loses some of the character that might attract new listeners to UK music. Reaching for the historical weight of Soul II Soul, it ends up with the easy going vibe of The Brand New Heavies. [Apr 2019, p.59]

    No More Normal is uplifting and wholesome, packaging a definite homage to UK music through the variety of artists included.

    While the guest MCs provide the better-known names (Ghetts, Kojey Radical), it is the singers who make this such a special album. [Mar 2019, p.120]
