A dramatic, synth-heavy pivot into 2010s dance-pop and R&B, trading sunny guitars for pulsing club beats and neon-lit electronic production.

November 15, 2010 · Island Records Group

A high-energy, theatrical dance-pop party with a dark, gothic edge.

Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive, synth-brass driven chorus of Shine a Light where Taio Cruz's guest vocals lock into harmony with the band.

The dramatic, gothic-pop intro of Party Girl with its pulsing bassline and theatrical, vampire-esque vocal delivery.

The sudden acoustic warmth of the bonus version of I'll Be Your Man, stripping away the electronic gloss to reveal the band's classic songwriting.

Midnight saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
