The profile describes Language as "the culmination of a lifelong dedication to both absorbing and making music." Billboard also conducted an in-depth interview with him recently praising his attention to detail and writing, "Even the sequencing and transitions of the song are done with the finesse and panache of a consummate professional while the album itself cements the artist as a vocalist."
Language boasts fan favorite singles such as "Colour" [feat. Hailee Steinfeld], "Tongue", and "Correct". Thus far, these tracks have tallied over 100 million cumulative streams within a few months' time. NME and Q both awarded the album four stars, and NPR
Music touted it as an "Album You Should Hear Now."
