Hey there! I know almost nothing about Kamaal Williams, but I'm bored and this looks like an interesting read so I'll review it for ya! – zmbro (talk) 17:15, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking the time. 😃 웃 O O  17:28, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * Infobox looks good, but question. Do we have any recording dates/ranges or studio(s) available?
 * ", under his Black Focus Records." → ", under his Black Focus Records label."
 * Link music videos

Background and development

 * Is there a specific reason the duo decided to break up?
 * "This style was labeled as "jazz fusion"" labeled by whom?
 * Is there a reason Williams chose these specific musicians to play on the record? Or were they just studio ones?
 * None specified. 웃 O O  22:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Asked this in the previous section but do we have any sourced recording dates/ranges or studios available? If not that's fine I'm just wondering.
 * None available. 웃 O O  22:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Composition

 * I'm noticing this section is very quote-heavy. I would try to paraphrase a little bit more.

Release and promotion

 * I'm assuming the tour went ahead as scheduled? Right now it only says it was announced.
 * They are just announcements. I don't recall finding a whole lot where they indeed performed at such places. 웃 O O  22:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Reception

 * The lead mentions a summary of reception, stating "some praising the re-creation of jazz-funk sounds of the 1970s, while others questioned the length of certain songs" but that's not present here. I'd make it known in this section as well.
 * Italicize Pitchfork
 * Also noticing this section to be very quote-heavy. I would check out WP:RECEPTION to assist with paraphrasing.
 * I'd add a summary to the start of accolades, such as "The Return appeared on numerous year-end lists in 2018." something like that
 * Just my personal preference, but I would put the refs into their own unsortable col. You don't have to just my preference

Track listing

 * Are writers available?
 * None specified. 웃 O O  22:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Don't see that often but I guess it happens. – zmbro (talk) 19:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Total length?

Personnel

 * Looks good

Charts

 * I'd make the table sortable

Final thoughts
Overall looks good. Gotta be less quote-heavy in some sections and got a few other things to resolve but should be a GA in no time. For now on hold. – zmbro (talk) 17:50, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I should have resolved alot of the issues here. I hope the paraphrasing is ok, the rest of the quotes I couldn't do, at least not at the moment. 웃 O O  22:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I just addressed those last two issues. 웃 O O  23:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Happy to ✅ – zmbro (talk) 18:06, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
