Following March's
9696 Dream
mixtape (2021) and July's
Flex Time
EP (2021), this new album sees
96 Back
shine the spotlight on his own vocals for the first time, at points (such as on lead single "9 To Find 6") operating fully in the realms of experimental pop. At other times, such as on "Teach Me Tenderness" and "Feel Hard", 96 Back stretches and processes his vocals to almost breaking point, while album closer "Melt You" sees him duet with past collaborator
Iceboy Violet
, ending
Love Letters
on a somber but romantic note. That's not to say
Love Letters
is fully removed from the dancefloor, however: tracks like "Don't Die" and "Love Compact" are precision-tooled for the club, while the likes of "Felzin" and "Vibrant Colours" continue to explore the intricate but emotive electronics that 96 Back has been so successful with in the past. More varied and vivid than any of 96 Back's releases to date,
Love Letters
feels like a coming-of-age moment. It casts its net incredibly wide at points, and it's an album full of ambition, but it meets every challenge it sets itself -- as affecting in its quieter, tender moments as during its dramatic peaks. In 96 Back's words: "This is a record I feel like I've been trying to write for years, it feels like the most accurate body of work to match the ideas in my mind. Trying to project a lot of the records I hold very dear to me through this lens, interpreting how they sound to me and merging them with ideas of finding the drama and excitement in the full spectrum of emotions on the tip of my tongue, that's what ended up being
Love Letters, Nine Through Six
."
