Following 2019’s Pang, this cleverly constructed fusion of art-pop and other genres by the dynamic, intelligent, soaring-voiced American ticks all the boxes to be an enormous mainstream hit. All the elements are in place, with subtle mood manipulating key changes and production tricks, from the whooping, singalong opener Welcome To My Island with added Blondie-style rapping, the catchily oddball single Bunny Is A Rider, the beautifully sunny flamenco-decorated Sunset, adding guests Grimes and Dido on Fly To You, Celtic bagpipe-type inflexions and rich vocal harmonies on Blood and Butter, and the sensual single of closer Billions. Polachek has a indisputably strong voice and also uses it to the max in this admirably constructed powerhouse commercial pop with with sprinkles of innovation, sophistication and sexiness, all of which certainly tee her up for superstardom. Out on Perpetual Novice.
