Album Notes & Community Reviews

Set in a fictionalized version of Los Angeles, this energetic concept album leans heavily into slick, 1980s-inspired synth-pop and funk grooves. Guided by producer Greg Kurstin, it features an eclectic, star-studded roster of guest vocalists while satirizing modern internet cults and the vacuity of influencer culture.
