Gentle Confrontation is the fifth album by London-based electronic musician Loraine James, released on 22 September 2023 through Hyperdub.

[4] Uncut called the album "a varied, disjointed, entirely unpredictable yet utterly singular record",[7] and Mojo felt that "it's the emotional, cathartic journey of the chief protagonist that captivates the most".

[5] Pitchfork's Christine Kakaire wrote that James "uses chaotic arrangements and glitchy drums to express knotty, difficult-to-name emotions" on the album, which "sprawls, and each track settles into a distinct tonality".

[1] The Wire called the tracks "vignettes of memory and emotion, which see her thoughtful production informed by IDM, glitch and electronic emo.

True to the album's concept, there's a charming bedroom maximalism" and concluded that it is a "lovely, affecting record".
