Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 71.4/100, a mean average of 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

In the niche world of Americana, sparse acoustic production reigns supreme, but the genre has many roots in soul and classic R&B, so it's wonderful whenever an artist makes a record with rich production and soulful vocals.
This is in the top 5 Americana and country music albums of 2021.
Yola has an amazing voice. From the soul ballads to country tunes, there is not a single note that she does not put her all into. The high point of the album is when her backing vocals kick in on the last chorus of "If I Had To Do It All Again". This talent is held back by the familiarity of the songs. Both thematically and structurally, I feel like I have heard a slightly different version of every track. This robs the album of real emotional or instrumental resonance. Given more novel material, I believe Yola has the talent for true greatness.
