This may be his first solo album, but James Ford is your favorite producer whom you've never heard of. He's worked with every great British act, from Arctic Monkeys to Florence Welch to Depeche Mode. This is a beautiful album.
She has made pop music interesting and wonky again. Both ethereal, Frou Frou-esque, yet with a modern production. Perfectly written songs. One of the best pop albums of the 2010s.
