These three harmonizing singers packing serious lyrical wit made their album debut in late 2022 and continued apace into the next year. , , and reimagined 's new jack ballad "Weak" as a late-'60s Memphis soul date, stepped in the marina to more faithfully cover 's obscure AOR truffle "Wrap Myself in Your Love," and released their third proper single before rolling out the first results of sessions they cut live with previous collaborators . The flexible, R&B-rooted band that backed the women on their debut 7" are copacetic support on second album . A lavish exhibit of the trio's talents, is over twice the length of the charmingly scruffy , allowing more space for them to stretch out as vocalists and further prove that songs about societal issues like bodily autonomy and gun control can thrill as much as those about seduction and affection. It's also truer to their self-applied "discodelic" descriptor. "C'est Si Bon," the polylingual prime example, shouts out , makes sonic links with and , and has joie de vivre to spare like 's song of the same title, impelling listeners to "Tell them what you want" with a message that "We will be heard." (Its indestructible groove brilliantly regenerates after an operatic breakdown.) A close second to that is the brisk "Reeling," a call to "Kick the door down, smash the ceiling" over a driving bassline. The rhythm section shows a spiraling lightness of touch on "Astral Plane," the song's skyward swirling dancefloor action generated just as much by the singers' impeccably layered high notes. There's equal power in the slower and funkier material. "Entry Level" could go off on a -era tangent if it didn't end so abruptly with the disposal of a sexist boss. "Questions," broiling funk, urges to challenge oppressive forces. It's appropriate that the group's tribute to feminist art-punk activists the Guerilla Girls -- the keyboard-driven "Forget Me Not," their initial single -- reappears here, integral as side three's first song rather than a tacked-on bonus. ~ Andy Kellman
