John Glacier’s Like A Ribbon expands her boundary-pushing approach to UK rap, weaving diaristic storytelling with surreal, poetic reflections on life in Hackney. This sophomore effort pairs her singular phrasing with lush, experimental production from Kwes Darko and collaborators like Flume, Sampha, and Eartheater. Blending classic hip-hop and R&B influences with forward-thinking textures, Glacier crafts an immersive sonic world that’s intimate, abstract, and wholly relatable. - Flying Out
A highly feted vocalist whose work was subject to huge demand even before her debut project SHILOH: Lost For Words was released, John Glacier has pushed the boundaries of what defines UK rap with a diaristic approach that shines a light on the mundanities of everyday life and the complexities of human emotion, all through her own unique phrasing and perspectives. This sensibility, alongside her own externally perpetuated mythology, has also provided allure for the fashion world, with John becoming one of the faces of and providing bespoke poetry for Burberry, as well finding fans in the likes of Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, J.W. Anderson and so many more. John’s debut album Like A Ribbon gives her the platform to explore the outer reaches of her immersive sound, traversing her own psyche in a way that's both abstracted and wholly relatable. Her poetic style takes center stage on the LP, defining modern life as a young woman growing up in Hackney; tied to the place she was born while existing on a whole other plane. Executive producer Kwes Darko helps to lay the sonic tapestry for the weaving of John Glacier’s own tale, alongside contributions from the likes of Flume, Sampha, Mk.gee contributor Andrew Aged, Surf Gang, Eartheater, and more.
