Our Take

In a whirlwind of orchestral delight, DIVINE COMEDY's latest album "Casanova" is a masterclass in musical seduction. Neil Hannon's sly lyrics and theatrical delivery are a match made in heaven, transporting listeners to a realm where romance reigns supreme. From the cheeky swagger of "Something for the Weekend" to the grandiose sweep of "The Frog Princess", Hannon proves once again why he is a maestro of the art-pop genre.

The album's production is impeccable, with lush strings and intricate arrangements that blend seamlessly with Hannon's velvety croon. Every track feels like a miniaturized symphony, with layers upon layers of sound that reveal new surprises with each listen. The result is a lush, dreamy sonic landscape that is both timeless and of-the-moment.

But what sets "Casanova" apart is its wit and charm. Hannon's lyrics are a perfect mix of cheeky innuendo and heartfelt emotion, painting vivid portraits of love, lust, and everything in between. Songs like "Becoming More Like Alfie" and "In Pursuit of Happiness" showcase Hannon's playful wordplay and keen observational skills, while tracks like "The Dogs and the Horses" and "Through a Long and Sleepless Night" delve into deeper, darker territories with grace and sophistication.

In the end, "Casanova" is a triumph of creativity and sophistication, a timeless gem that sparkles with wit, charm, and musical prowess. It's a reminder of why we fell in love with music in the first place, and a testament to DIVINE COMEDY's enduring genius. Don't miss out on this musical adventure - it's a true classic in the making.
