Metropolitan

2008 release, the third album from the Mercury Prize-nominated Helicopter Girl. Metropolitan further builds on her first two records' sense of style with dancefloor-friendly nuances. Her sultry and sometimes sinister, soulful voice appeals to the same sensibilities as Lounge chanteuses such as Adele and Amy Winehouse, but also takes the baton from Roisin Murphy and Alison Goldfrapp and runs rings around the dancefloor by wrapping up cool, cold Electro in blankets of warm melodies. Recalling the beats of the likes of Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk plus the melodic songwriting and vibe of Roisin and Goldfrapp. 12 tracks including the single 'It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This'. Instant Karma. 2008.
