Arlo Parks - Ambiguous Desire (3rd album)

[Jark]

London singer songwriter who won the Mercury and AOTY at the BRITs for her debut album in 2021, and then had a very quiet second album.

now BACK with a new record out April 3rd - both singles are really great


a sultry synth-pop bop in 2SIDED


and a moody, melancholy breakbeat track Heaven, out today - just when you think this might reach a big chorus it goes the other way, I really like it on first play

from nothing one of the year's most anticipated albums for me. I was never that interested in her until now...

Loved the first album... completely forgot there was even a second album.... but these 2 tracks have piqued my interest again.

Blades from the last album had a lovely light early eighties electrofunkiness about it:



I absolutely love 2SIDED and Heaven is working its way up there too. I am here for her dance and desire album.

Loving ‘Heaven’

 

[Jark]

Get Go is brilliant. thoughts @FetchFugly @jyxz? this album will be special

 

[FetchFugly]

Love. It is the most obvious radio song so far too.

 

[Jark]

album finally out Friday!



another gorgeous track

I liked the last album but didn't love it as much as its predecessor. Well up for this tho'.

 

[Iguana]

Looking forward to giving this a proper spin

 

[Jark]

I need more time with it but good album on first play! Luck of Life stood out.

I'm really enjoying it. Occasionally she is still a little too restrained - Jetta just switches things up and sounds like it is heading in another direction, then stops abruptly.

 

[lolly]

Spotify seems determined to push this album on me, and I'm not mad about it at all. I get the 'a little too restrained' comment, but it suits a certain mood very well.

 

[jyxz]

It’s very subdued for an album allegedly aligned to going out and living it large

WHERE ARE THE BANGERS

^ Yes, I was expecting something different based on the pre release blurb too. It’s pleasant and enjoyable enough but it just doesn’t keep my attention at the moment when I play it.
