Nick Hakim’s fourth album, “I Can See”, is praised as his most focused and accomplished release, combining hazy alternative R&B with carefully structured songwriting. The review argues that its slow tempos, layered vocals and psychedelic production place it beyond conventional genre boundaries, while retaining a strong emotional and melodic core.

The album follows Hakim’s increasingly experimental 2022 record “Cometa”, but begins with more clearly formed songs before moving into murkier, dub-influenced territory. Standout tracks include “Real Here Now”, described as an exceptionally beautiful R&B song, and “U Can Make It”, built around electronic bass, treated piano and dense vocal layers. Its distinctive mix lets instruments and voices drift in and out, blending organic sounds with digital effects.
