Choker put out two excellent albums close to a decade ago – 2017’s Peak and 2018’s Honeybloom – and then disappeared, so it was excellent to see Heaven Ain’t Sold appear last week. Often compared to Frank Ocean (for good reason), the latest LP sees him pick back up where he left off, with deeply reflective and beautifully restrained r&b. The story of his rise and disappearance is a sad and interesting one, and his music has lost none of its promise and power in the intervening years.
