A cool, indigo-tinted R&B reverence permeates these ten tracks, which trade traditional stadium bombast for a sleek, late-eighties digital homage to classic sixties soul. Recorded in Denmark, the music encases the vocal phrasing of Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye in a pristine, synth-driven architecture of shimmering vocal layers and tight, disciplined grooves.
