The remarkable thing isn&rsquo;t that the music is gentle; it&rsquo;s that the gentleness <em>holds</em>. His songs don&rsquo;t flinch, don&rsquo;t rush, don&rsquo;t apologise for their softness. <em>Set My Heart on Fire Immediately</em> is a record that treats tenderness as a kind of strength.</p> <p>I think softness is infrastructure. We just refuse to admit it.</p>
