  ****CRAIG CHARLES'S 'ALBUM OF THE YEAR*** - BBC RADIO 6 - 2021
  
  Joseph Malik’s Diverse Part 3 is the final instalment of a critically acclaimed trilogy he began in 2002. But this boldly uncompromising and musically accomplished album is also about the state of the world in 2021. The artist did not use any filters.
  
  An emotional honesty lies at the centre of this deeply affecting audio-diary that references milestones in black music on both sides of the Atlantic, from Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On to Massive Attack’s Unfinished Sympathy to Young Disciple’s Road To Freedom. As is the case with these landmarks, Diverse Part 3, is unflinchingly personal and was born against the backdrop of the Black Lives Matter protests that took place in Edinburgh, where Malik has lived since the early ‘90s.
  
  “It’s a document of our times,” explains Joseph. “All I was really doing was looking at our times and saying this is happening right here and right now! I was writing down what was happening around me, and saying this is what I’m feeling."
  
  "In these troubled times, my fave Scottish voice called Joseph Malik wrote and sang an emotional unique masterpiece from start to finish with a clear message. The production is great, and he covers the full range of my preferred styles, being it Jazz, Soul or Funk. I really missed such authentic, original music in a long while. Well-done brother!"
  Rainer Truby
  
  "Such a relevant record, the album carries a poignant message to a generation waiting to hear words, voices and music from artist like Joseph. Opening with “Cry When I’m On My Own” sets the listener up to drop their guard. Drop your guard and be prepared to go on this journey. A sonically dope recording and spot on production allows Joseph’s vocals to sail and weave through the textures. I hear Curtis, Al Green, Sly and Smokey but most of all I hear Joseph and how his life story makes this record so unique. The album sounds like Joseph has put his cards on the table, invited us into his world and shared his life experiences with us. Destined to be a classic."

  If diversity is a central story of Britain today, then 'Diverse Part 3' is the brave, uplifting soundtrack to accompany that story.
