It’s breathy verses for eternity that Anna B Savage serves us here when she picks up on a famous Smiths song in the title track of her new album IN|FLUX. “Last night I dreamt / We were one / We had sex / I didn’t cum,” sings the London artist in a solemn vocal style over electronically scurrying beats, only to soon realize that she’s doing much better on her own as with a partner: “I want to be alone, I’m happy on my own, believe me.”
IN|FLUX is about sexuality, touching and desire, not only in “Pavlov’s Dog” or “Touch Me”. One also notices that the work was created in a phase of self-discovery. When you listen to this fantastic album, you don’t doubt for a second that this process was successful.
The vocals are reminiscent of PJ Harvey or Anohni, while the saxophone and clarinet playing give the music a jazzy touch. Otherwise, the quiet pop or folk song, carried by guitar and keyboard, reigns supreme, leading us deep into the world of feelings and thoughts of a young woman who has a lot to tell.
