JT's Sexy/Back pretty much polarised the blogging community - people either loved it (me!) or bemoaned its lack of anything remotely resembling a melody or chorus... Now that parent album FutureSex/LoveSounds has "officially" been released (ie, not leaked all over the internet), i thought i would add some thoughts on whether it lives up to the hype or not. There are some really great tracks on the album and JT takes great strides forward as both a writer and performer: stomping Summer Love is a terrific groove, My Love (the next single) is awash in a sea of juddering synths, LoveStoned, which is built from vocal samples is a mighty impressive track and piano ballad Give Me Another Chance is a doozy. It's not a perfect album by any means but it certainly has its fair of stand out tracks. For an alternative perspective, check out Nick's review...
