This is the first full length album from Class Actress, a true icon of neo-synth pop. The album builds on her
earlier amazing EP with multi-layered retro synth sounds and slinky sexy vocals.
Class Actress has an ear for a great pop hook and how to build a song, listen to "Hangin' on" for evidence of that. A great song that harks back to early 80s acts like the Human League but also has bags of modern attitude and style.
The album is packed full of amazing tracks, "Weekend" for example with its astounding sonic attack of an opener moving into an irresistible chorus. "Keep you" is another winner, with beats erupting out the speakers and a relentless synth sonic assault. Its basically brilliant, at once insanely retro, insanely modern and insanely essential.
It is hard really to describe just how good this album is, its also hard to see how this album could be bettered this year...
