Nick Hakim has released 'I Can See', his first solo album in four years, following the end of a record deal and a relationship since his 2022 record 'Cometa'. Reviewed by Clash Magazine's Robin Murray, the album is praised as a mature, emotionally open work of recovery, marking a significant return for the artist after a period of personal upheaval that also saw him contribute to projects by Miley Cyrus, Adrianne Lenker and Lil Yachty.

The review highlights tracks including the title song 'I Can See', 'Know My Name', 'Endless Waiting' and 'U Can Make It', noting influences ranging from choral and baroque textures to early Bon Iver-style folk and vintage soul. Songs such as 'The Reason' and 'Soft Wet Clay' introduce dissonance and digital distortion, while closing track 'Water' and 'The Reason' are singled out as standout moments. Clash awarded the album 8 out of 10, describing it as sitting among Hakim's finest work.
