The thirtysomething returns to her unashamedly accessible roots
simply wanted to get back to her roots. Higher than Heaven is, she says, an unapologetically straightforward pop album.
There have been big developments in the thirtysomething’s personal life in recent years, not least the pandemic causing her to realign her career, so you might imagine that her marriage and the birth of her son mean weighty rumination is woven through these lyrics. Not so: this is an album of joyful escapism, as heard on songs like the glimmering disco-influenced strut of Midnight Dreams or the zooming, danceable synthpop of Cure for Love, an anthem for independence .
There are nods to the 1980s on Like a Saviour and Easy Lover, which features the rapper Big Sean; the Latin/tropical pop shuffle of Let It Die is unexpected, while the atmospheric after-hours love song By the End of the Night evokes The Weeknd.
