I SEE YOU by THE XX
I normally like my pop music one of two ways: remarkable (like “Come as well as get Your Love” by Redbone or “EI” by Nelly), or pure sugar fun (like XTina or Pink). Consequently, The xx have never truly resonated with me: Their stuff has always been fine, however nothing about it stuck with me.
As I comprehend it, their new album “I See You,” is a bit of a departure–I got that from reading a few evaluations by people who are much bigger fans than I am. If that’s the case, I hope they keep departing since I See You is fantastic. The lyrics have amazing depth, particularly “Say Something Loving,” which is so true it hurts. At least, for me. “Performance” is one more standout of the exact same stripe. The slower tunes on the album tend to land finest with me, although the remove single, Replica, is likewise fantastic. much of it is duets, as well as the interplay between vocalists as well as lyrical exchanges are part of the continuously unusual elements of this record. I like this!
A excellent album.
