Album Description
Available in:
Last Man Dancing is the second studio album by American singer Jake Shears, released on June 2, 2023, through Boys Keep Swinging and Mute Records. It includes collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Le Chev, Amber Martin and Big Freedia, and contributions from Jane Fonda and Iggy Pop. It was preceded by the release of four singles, including "Too Much Music", released alongside the album announcement on February 2.
Background
The album began with and was built around Shears's and Kylie Minogue's collaboration "Voices", which was recorded in 2018. At the time Shears had "nowhere for it to go" as he was "making a southern, Honky-tonk record"—his self-titled debut album, and Minogue was making Golden. Shears stated that another of his inspirations was the fact that "intimacy is missing from nightlife. The only way to replace that is to do it yourself. That's where head was at with this record." Shears announced the record on February 2, 2023.

Last Man Dancing received a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. Heather Phares of AllMusic called it Shears's return to "dance music old and new", writing that he "still finds ways to make club-oriented music that's equally catchy and innovative" and that its "immaculately crafted tracks offer an impressive amount of range" as well as an "abundance of style and imagination". Writing for NME, Gary Ryan opined that it is Shears's "most cohesive attempt to merge th two identities" of "an artist who straddles both the mainstream and the margins", noting that it is also :pure escapism and his most effortless-sounding set since bursting out of the traps nearly 20 years ago".
Like Phares, Michael Hubbard of musicOMH noted the album's two distinct halves, on both of which he felt Shears "offers his hand and guides us expertly through a hedonistic kaleidoscope of disco pop homage, gay icons, convivial singalongs and, most surprisingly, an outrageously slapping run of bona fide future club classics of his own". Hubbard concluded by calling the album an "essential, repeatable work". Reviewing the album for The Line of Best Fit, David Cobbald described it as "a party to escape to when life gets a little bit too much, and it delivers on its mission statement with abundance", including both "slick disco production" in its first half and "deeper electronic sounds" with "each song blend seamlessly into the next as though it's being mixed by a DJ at the house party" in its second.
