Tracey Thorn has spent more than four decades making quiet records that land with a thud. Born in 1962, she got her start in Marine Girls, from 1980 to 1983, and she is best known as one half of Everything but the Girl, the duo that ran from 1982 to 2000 and came back to life in 2022. In between, she has stepped out on her own every so often, and written books, essays and columns on the side.
Record, from 2018, is the sound of a writer with nothing left to prove saying exactly what she thinks. "Queen" and "Sister" are sleek, pulsing pop songs carried by that low, unhurried voice, which makes even the sharpest lines sound like a friend telling you the truth over a drink. It's grown-up pop in the best sense: feet moving, brain fully switched on.
