On her new album "Ambiguous Desire", Arlo Parks shows impressive further development. The London-based artist was previously known for her dreamy bedroom pop, which brought her great recognition early on. Her debut "Collapsed In Sunbeams" won her the Brit Award for Best New Artist and the prestigious Mercury Prize in her early 20s. Now, at the age of 25 and on her third album, Arlo Parks takes a bold step forward with "Ambiguous Desire" and presents an energetic, danceable work. The twelve songs are simultaneously some of her most vulnerable and most self-confident music. Songs like "Get Go" play with breakbeats, while Parks uses her signature lyricism to tell the story of someone surrendering to the thrill of the night. "Beams" builds shimmering chords over tender lyrics about healing from a painful past love. And "Senses" features Arlo Parks with her boyfriend Sampha in a profound, soulful exploration of destructive relationships. The songs' flat keyboards and techno beats bridge the gap between the legendary New York club Paradise Garage, the atmospheric sounds of The Streets and Burial and the sparkling euphoria of LCD Soundsystem. This soundscape harmonizes perfectly with Arlo Parks' velvety voice and makes "Ambiguous Desire" a surprising and trend-setting album.
