Little Simz, Lingua Ignota, Lump & Anna B Savage

Hey Zac and the rest of the forum team. Hope you are all doing well.

As alluded to at the end of my previous request, there are additional new albums I've been hoping to see reviewed. It's been a while since they were released so I'm curious to know if anyone is still planning on covering them:

1. Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert
We'll start with a familiar name. You may remember that a request was made two years ago to review this artist's previous album - Grey Area. As the response was very positive, I'm kinda surprised your reviewers haven't leapt at the chance to hear its follow-up. In my opinion, her new album is just as great. It would be a shame to see it miss out on a review, if one isn't already in the works.

2. Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready
This is another artist that had a review requested two years ago. Unfortunately, it never materialised. When a biography was recently added to Lingua Ignota's page, I had hoped that your writers would review her albums too. So far nothing has appeared but hopefully there is still interest in covering her mesmerising discography.

3. Lump - Animal
A record that may interest any fans of Laura Marling. It's the second album from a side-project she's been working on with Mike Lindsay from Tunng. Both records are very much up to Marling's usual high standards and are worth checking out, if one of writer's is looking for something new to take on.

4. Anna B Savage - A Common Turn
Similar to Lump, Anna B Savage merges more traditional singer-songwriter stylings with sparse elements of electronic music. Anna is more direct in her lyricism than Laura Marling, though no-less talented as a writer. Anyone who likes the work of William Doyle of East India Youth fame may also be interested in this, as he helped produce the album.

Again, if there are no current plans to review any of these albums, could you put their names forward for one. Thanks!

Fantastic review for the new Little Simz album! Was it already in the works by the time I made this request or was it in response to it? Just curious if the list above was ever forwarded to the editorial team...

I sent the list on to the editors and they said they planned to cover Little Simz but did not have plans to review the other three.

Good to know. Thanks again Zac! :)

Been thinking about this one about more. Are you still okay with putting names on the review list? If so, would you consider listing the Lingua Ignota album on there?

Also, are any plans to review the new Villager's album - 'Fever Dreams'?

Ugh, curse that time limit on the edit button.
