Sep 28, 2016McMorrow loyalists may bemoan the polished sheen that characterises the tracks on We Move, but there is some genuine pop-soul mastery at display here, McMorrow’s sound more wholesome without renouncing the spectral quality that characterised his earlier material.

Sep 19, 2016While Post Tropical showcased McMorrow’s fondness for hip-hop’s rhythms and R&B’s sensual spaciousness, it didn’t represent a formal conversion into either one of these genres. We Move, by contrast, is a definitive step toward pop, but one that also demonstrates the Irish belter’s willingness to take risks and tear out of his sensitive-soul comfort zone.

Dec 12, 2016The warmth of the beats and the tasteful melodic arrangements are perfectly suited to McMorrow's soulful, blue-eyed delivery, and the occasional stylistic detours and offbeat turns of phrase make for welcome deviations from the formula.

UncutSep 9, 2016It's an assured and heartfelt work built carefully around McMorrow's falsetto vocals. [Oct 2016, p.35]
-
Sep 9, 2016In a genre based on repetition, standout moments are critical, and We Move provides too few of them to be impactful. But when they show up, the results are stunning.
