Description
May’s unabashed fondness for R&B, both vintage and new, shines through here, not least on the dazzlingly smooth opener Love Decline, which boasts the kind of sophisticated writing an artist like Prince might have once been responsible for. Elsewhere May explores issues of sexual identity, detailing the effects of stigmatisation felt by some at an early age. Now a year and a half old, the single Doomsday Clock remains a spellbinding achievement, mixing as it does an earworm chorus with a cautionary tale that chimes with the current global mood of apocalyptic gloom.
