Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced alongside Chic mastermind Nile Rodgers, this release marks Jones's most extensive involvement in songwriting to date. Stepping away from her icy, reggae-infused post-punk era, the album brilliantly utilizes polished synth-funk grooves to support an unexpectedly warm, highly accessible, and deeply personal pop aesthetic.
