Little Boots - Tomorrow's Yesterdays (album 4)

[EuroTischion]

The other Queen of slightly experimental pop also releases today First album since 2015(!)



I'm midway through and really enjoying it. It's a return to pop and there are some beautiful synthy notes through. Silver Balloons never quite did it to me, but as a whole I think I'll enjoy this without a huge need to return to it much. "Crying on the Inside" is LUSH. "Heavenly" sounds straight from album #1

She's also SINGLE(?) PREGNANT which I'm assuming might cause her to be away for part of the Abba tour which is a slight shame as that's surely the biggest gig she's EVER had. Good luck to her though etc.!

She’s either pregnant or just had a can of pop

The slightly underwhelming singles definitely sound better in the context of the album (Silver Balloons especially has grown a lot), but I'm not convinced the MOR feel on a number of the tracks is the best fit for her. A hard pass on the Back To Mine invitation in particular (Karen's having a ball and all).

I think most of the songs are good to decent but could do with a bit of a spit and polish, and she generally sounds better with a synth backing, which I think is why Want You Back? sounds so good. Nothing Ever Changes is great as well.

I have to appreciate the taste in cover selection here, and Boots at least sounds very good (better than on a lot of her album):



I've gone back to it quite a bit this week.
