Description
‘Record’, a collection of sublty pumping ‘feminist bangers’, is one of the defining albums of Tracey Thorn’s 38-year career. Thorn’s latter-day solo material has often confronted topics that don’t come up a lot in pop: getting back into dating after divorce, entering menopause as your teenage kids are hitting puberty, the fear of familiar bodies growing boring. But she’s never sung about them with so much humor, action, and revelation as she does here and the results are wickedly funny and relevant to listeners of all ages. These songs are graceful, masterful, airy, bubbly and even a lot of fun.
