Pop,
Marking a new pinnacle of R&B/pop composition & helmed by the visionary singer, producer, writer, multi-instrumentalist and dancer Tahliah Barnett, 'LP1' sets a high benchmark for new pop and R&B, pulling together some of the most interesting studio alchemists around right now - Arca, Clams Casino, Paul Epworth and Devonte Hynes - for a project that far outweighs the sum of its parts.
Augmenting the sublime templates of her two mind-blowing EPs, 'LP1’ slots everything together with a hyper-lucid logic and unreal geometry, from its polymetric timings to the way her voice effortlessly glydes between soul, folk and near-classical forms with crystal diction. It's all impossibly gorgeous, from that blooming double bassline chord that sends shivers down the spine a minute into 'Lights On', thru the aching anticipation of 'Two Weeks''s snares and that steepled falsetto - which also contains the sexiest use of "muthafxxker" you'll hear all year - to the queered beauty of 'Numbers' or the uncanny Julee Cruise vibes of 'Closer', and the yearning, whirring soul torque of closer 'Kicks’.
