Academy 23 - Relationships
Review by Arshaq Ahamadu Sulaiman
Academy 23's latest album, Relationships, is a thought-provoking and introspective journey through the complexities of human connection. From the opening track, "Connections," the listener is transported into a world of emotional vulnerability and raw honesty.
The album's standout track, "Intimacy," explores the delicate balance of trust and closeness in a relationship, while "Distance" delves into the challenges of maintaining a connection over time and space. Academy 23's lyrics are both poetic and relatable, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love and relationships.
Musically, Relationships is a blend of electronic and acoustic elements, with haunting melodies and intricate rhythms that add depth and texture to the songs. The album's production is polished and professional, showcasing Academy 23's skill as both songwriters and musicians.

You laugh at my loneliness an outsider I remain
I wanted you but you didn’t want me you made that plain
And yet you ?????!! contempt upon my tears and my pain
I suppose this represents another unprovoked attack
When people I considered friends have knives stabbed in my back
I seek refuge in honesty and truth because I won’t pretend
Perhaps that’s why I’ve always been denied a special friend
Will someone out there tell me please when will it ever end
You try to hide your nastiness behind the words you said
But would you have behaved like that if I’d been a girl instead
Am I ti blame for all your twisted malice and hate
I won’t be held responsible for your sad and sorry state
