Mvula’s third album - her first in five years. Rather, Pink Noise signals a triumphant rebirth, announcing itself in a colour-saturated explosion that fizzes with electro-funk energy and 1980s synth-pop glee. With Australia’s Dann Hume sharing the production chair, it's a case of out with the considered mix of jazz, R&B and orchestral pop, and in with big, unabashed pop songs borne up by irresistible grooves, soaring, multi-tracked vocals and deep-plush production. There are nods to Chic in the title track, and Michael and Janet Jackson on the indecently feel-good 'Got Me', while 'Conditional' suggests an Afrobeats banger given Peter Gabriel’s cavernous, art-pop treatment. That all this is managed without compromising on nuance or integrity shows just how brightly Mvula’s star still shines.

Contrasting confessional lyricism with compelling and infectious synth pop, 'Pink Noise' feels completely and uniquely Laura. Her artistic prowess knows no limits - take the neo-soul meets art pop of 'Remedy' for example, or the darker, pulsating 'Conditional' that injects bombastic funk into indietronica. She feels rejuvenated too, especially on electro pop stunners 'Magical' and 'Before The Dawn'. This is Laura Mvula at her most ambitious to date, leaving no stone left unturned in this cosmic new realm.
