Album Notes & Community Reviews

The British pop icon embraces the infectious rhythms of nu-disco and electro-disco on this highly bouncy, dance-oriented release. 'Perimenopop' provides a smooth, sensual soundtrack to modern nightlife, heavily influenced by classic synthpop structures. Beneath the polished club aesthetic, the lyricism reveals a surprisingly introspective and mature perspective on leisure and ageing.
