THREE years after the electropop of Yes, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe return with an album that is more reflective than its predecessor. Working in Los Angeles with Kanye West producer Andrew Dawson has resulted in the music being laidback but lyrically the claws are out on tracks such as Your Early Stuff and Ego Music. Lead single Winner is a pop anthem that doesn’t quite live up to its promise, while upcoming single Leaving is among the standouts.
An album that takes a few listens but will satisfy fans.
