Our Take

James Righton's debut solo album, "The Performer," is a delightful romp through a sonic playground of retro-futuristic pop. Righton, best known as the frontman of the beloved band Klaxons, has shed his indie rock roots in favour of a more polished, disco-infused sound on this record.

From the infectious grooves of "Edie" to the dreamy synths of "Release Party," Righton's knack for crafting catchy hooks and intricate melodies is on full display. The album's standout track, "The Performer," is a shimmering ode to the glitzy world of showbiz, with Righton's smooth vocals gliding effortlessly over a pulsating dance beat.

While "The Performer" may lack the raw edge of Klaxons' early work, Righton's evolution as a solo artist is undeniably impressive. His foray into slick, 80s-inspired production and earnest lyricism proves that he's more than just a one-trick pony.

Ultimately, "The Performer" is a testament to Righton's versatility and creativity as a musician. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a damn good time from start to finish. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a cocktail, and let James Righton whisk you away to a world of glittering disco balls and infectious beats. You won't be disappointed.
