Primal Heart

The third studio album from the celebrated New Zealand pop vocalist features heavily co-produced tracks with Skrillex and Childish Gambino producer Ludwig Göransson. The remarkably punchy record largely abandons the dizzying jazz and avant-pop eccentricities of her past for direct, highly emotive R&B-infused synth-pop hooks. It was heavily praised for finally centering her massive, dynamic voice within a highly accessible, sharply focused pop framework.
