In ‘Few Good Things’, Saba opens up about the deep period of reflection that successful artists often reach by their third album. In his own words, “The concept of ‘Few Good Things’ is the realisation of self after a search for exterior fulfilment. It is the satisfaction and completeness you gain by simply living a life that is yours.” Themes of gratitude, heritage, change and remembering where you came from are effortlessly communicated through eloquent lyricism, punctuated by beats that are sometimes moody, sometimes bouncy. Despite becoming a growing presence in the hip hop industry, Saba has still retained the unique, authentic voice of an independent black artist. LT
