New York's singer-songwriter Grace Ives
took the chirpy female-fronted twee-pop of the 1980s
(Primitives,
Talulah Gosh,
Bananarama)
added simple electronic beats and obtained the ridiculously catchy dances of
2nd (2019): the
childish Mansion, the
sensual Butterfly, the breezy Loose, and so on.
She drifts into atmospheric dance-pop with Arabic elegance IDK What I Should Do.
Unfortunately it's hard to sustain such an act for a whole album, and the songs quickly turn into filler if not garbage.
This should have been a four-song EP at best.
Janky Star (2022) veered decisively into fashionable dance-pop with more
elaborate rhythms and arrangements, resulting in trivial soul ballads.
Lullaby is perhaps the least obnoxious, thanks to a reggae organ.
