Review

Holy shit, y'all! I just can't stop gushing about Matt Maltese's "Bad Contestant"! This South London kid is only 22, but damn if he hasn't dropped one of the most killer debuts I've heard in ages. Atlantic Records UK struck gold with this one, I swear.

Clocking in at a tight 39 minutes, this album is packed with 11 tracks that'll make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. Maltese's lyrics are sharp as hell, and the production by Jonathan Rado and Alex Burey is *chef's kiss*. Critics are losing their minds over this one too - it's scoring 80 on Metacritic and 7.9 on AnyDecentMusic?. Some folks are even comparing him to Jarvis Cocker, which is pretty fucking high praise if you ask me. Whether you're feeling the end of the world coming or just navigating the mess of young adulthood, Maltese has got you covered with these tunes. - Madi
