Actually

Crisp drum machines and wide, lush compositions provide the standard for this synth-pop collection. The inclusion of Dusty Springfield adds a layer of classic soul, contrasting with the precise, modern production of the late eighties.

Tracks like It is a Sin explore dramatic subjects such as guilt through a theatrical lens. The music feels like an evening stroll through a city, combining a dark, biting perspective with infectious rhythms that remain sharp and effective.
