"Photograph" is a song by American rapper J. Cole, released on April 20, 2018 from his fifth studio album, KOD . [1]
Pitchfork said "Cole simplifies lust on "Photograph," where he again reminds us that his ideal woman is a holy Madonna who is sexy but never shows too much skin." [2] Spin said it "renders lust as it plays out on social media when the object of affection is a complete stranger." [3]
Alexis Petridis of The Guardian said "there's something really haunting about Photograph, with its delicate two-note guitar sample and a chorus whose vocal appears to be slightly out of step with the beat." [4]
