Please don’t lick your records guys
This was one of my most anticipated releases this year largely due to the incredible singles released in the previous months. The title track especially is absolutely gorgeous and had one of the greatest music videos of last year. If I’m being honest though the rest of this tracklist can be a bit hit or miss in areas. Songs like Striptease are absolutely unreal club bangers and then there’s songs like Childlike Things or Keep It, Hold it which are kind of disappointing. Childlike things especially has a great beat but is ruined by a really annoying chorus and yet another dreadful North feature (why Twigs why you saw what happened to bomb). A lot of this record still stands out positively though especially the title track, Striptease, and Wanderlust. I do think this album is very good but it’s going to have to sit with me for a bit and I don’t think it’s my aoty yet over balloonerism although it may be in the future who knows
