Smart, edgy and touched by genius, the London artists newalbum is an absolute triumph from start to finish. And the best part? She's just getting started...
Young's fifth record is absolutely and unarguably the most incredible album of their career. It might also be the greatest record of the last decade. It’s not, however, the work of the artist operating at their absolute peak – that’s yet to come. It’s the work of an artist still growing, still fine-tuning, still learning and still experimenting; a young girl who will not look back on this record as a career high, but the moment she stops being defined by genre and instead became a artist. Think Florence and the machine, think Daughter, think Birdy think Lorde point on, Charlotte young can do what ever she want, sound however she likes and always be herself. She's a idiosyncratic and that's what her fans love about her.
But that;s all for another day, sometime in her stupidly bright future. For now, we should celebrate this record for what it is - 41 minutes and 54 seconds of near perfection. It's the sound we've need to our ears. Let's begin with the details. Twelve track, recorded at Silence & sound recording studio in London, featuring guest appearences from Kings of Leon, The XX and Alt J. It was produced by Mark James and co- producted by Ross Orton, with the magical mixing done by Tchad Blake, who worked on The Killers 2010 breakthrough album 'Day & age'. It's a record about lust, heart breaks, isolation, friendship and just day to day life.
