Our Take

Bronski Beat's "The Age of Consent" is a delightful romp through 80s synth-pop with a side of social commentary. From the iconic "Smalltown Boy" to the infectious "Why?", this album is a rollercoaster of emotion that will have you dancing and contemplating the injustices of the world at the same time. The band's fearless exploration of LGBTQ+ themes sets them apart from their peers, with frontman Jimmy Somerville's falsetto vocals adding an extra layer of vulnerability to the songs. Tracks like "Junk" and "Screaming" tackle issues of love and desire with an unapologetic honesty that is both refreshing and empowering. The production on "The Age of Consent" is slick and polished, with shimmering synths and pulsating beats that transport you straight back to the neon-lit dance floors of the 80s. The album's ability to seamlessly blend catchy hooks with thought-provoking lyrics is a testament to Bronski Beat's skill as songwriters and musicians. Overall, "The Age of Consent" is a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners today. Whether you're a die-hard fan of 80s music or just discovering Bronski Beat for the first time, this album is sure to leave you feeling inspired and ready to conquer the world – one dance floor at a time.
