Four and a half stars.
This album is his best since PGG for sure!
I was hooked from the opening intro right to the end.
Mike and Julie is the current highlight for me because the lyrics are just amazing and it’s great to know he’s not lost his touch.
I also found that some of the arrangements were ecstatically good, to the point where I felt he didn’t have the right to be so gloriously funky…almost a whole new genre of dance music created in a single song.
As per, this is perfectly produced and it feels like it’s been lovingly crafted with attention to detail never failing to impress!
Definitely a contender for album of the year for me.
