This 2024 release is a breath of fresh air, packed with earworm hooks and guitar riffs that stick with you like your favorite tune on a road trip playlist.

Tracks like "Art House" and "Mr. Incorrect" are the standout flavors in this sonic feast, delivering a one-two punch of creativity and rhythm that'll have your head bobbing and your heart humming along. And let's not forget "Sore Throat," a track that proves Todd's got the Midas touch when it comes to crafting indie gold.

"Sweet Boy" is more than a solid debut; it's a vibe curator for those sunny days that demand a soundtrack. Malcolm Todd has managed to bottle up the essence of summer and sprinkle it across an album that's as refreshing as a cold drink on a hot day. So, if you're in need of a sonic pick-me-up or just looking to add some pep to your step, "Sweet Boy" is your go-to for an auditory dose of Vitamin D.- Kaitlyn
