First Listen: Mr. Mitch, 'Devout'
London grime producer's second album is not only a song-cycle about family, but collection of urban romantic compositions.
Grime could not have scripted a better media moment for an album like Mr. Mitch's Devout to come along. It's as though after a decade of disrespecting it as England's funny-accented rap cousin, America and the greater Internet is awakening to realize that the music many wrote off as a fad, has developed into broadly rooted culture. And Devout — the Catford, South London producer's sophomore album — is a glorious testament to the musical and lyrical breadth of that culture.
