This album is really goddamn great. Siul Hughes is definitely one of the most exciting discoveries I’ve made this year. I’m glad I finally got around to checking this album out before the year ended.

Now five albums deep into a career in music, solo artist Siul Hughes’ latest resonates as an artist comfortable in their direction, creating a separation from the influences that formerly leaned close over his shoulder.

“Someone once told me I should write all my dreams but I don’t see the point / rather live and learn and light a joint,” Siul Hughes begins on “Still Doubting,” the opening cut from Hueman, Hughes’s fifth and latest album, but first with New Haven’s own Fake Four, Inc. .”

Siul Hughes is an artist from Connecticut that has been releasing music for about the last seven years. Now Hughes gets to make his official debut on Fake Four with his latest album, HUEMAN.
