ALBUM OF THE WEEK

-

Tracey Thorn Record Out Fri ★★★★★

The former Everything But The Girl singer’s 2010 album, Love And Its Opposite, made singer-songwriter pop out of hormones and other people’s divorces, but its follow-up consists, by her count, of ‘nine feminist bangers’. Record is not entirely a Saturday night album – though pulsing opener Queen and robo-electro closer Dancefloor could both do that job – but it is electronic pop with a brain, very much as if EBTG’s 1995 hit Missing grew up, grew wings and decided there were more pressing matters than old boyfriends.
