From Michigan With Love is a fitting followup album to the debut release by Quinn XCII. This time around, the Detroit native has added more components of indie rock to his repertoire of jazz-rap cadences, alternative hip-hop, R&B and electropop. He displays that notion quite well with an indie folk song about a last-ditch attempt to salvage a romantic relationship, called “U & Us.” The most noteworthy composition on this album is a cleverly written pop-rap duet with Yoshi Flower. Their collaborative effort, “Werewolf,” is a radio friendly song about the pitfalls of being in an unhealthy romantic relationship.
