User Album Review
Fittingly for an album that contains a song called ‘The Pop Life’, Little Dragon really bring the hooks here. With its refrain of “let love drip”, ‘Celebrate’ is ?a sexy blend of Prince and ?’80s Janet Jackson. ‘Should I’, ?a midtempo electro rush, comes off like a freaky Pet Shop Boys-Neneh Cherry mash-up. And the breathy dance-pop of ‘Sweet’ is so cute and catchy, ?it could almost be a more experimental Kylie Minogue hit.
In fact, Little Dragon ?only really falter when their songwriting loses its ?pop focus. The offbeat electronica of ‘Butterflies’ spreads its musical ideas ?a little too thin, while final track ‘Gravity’ meanders towards the end of its seven-minute runtime. ?Yet those self-indulgent moments don’t kill the vibe.
This is an album that delivers both mood and melody, thanks in no small part to Nagano. Whether she’s whispering “it’s your birthday” suggestively on ‘Celebrate’, or asking a lover to “roll another one for me” on ‘High’, she’s a compelling presence who really sells ?her band’s sleek and sophisticated tunes. --- nme.com/reviews
