The return of an artist not quite like any other.. Meghan Remy, who operates in the marketplace as U.S. Girls is back with her eighth album Bless this Mess and it's one quite unlike any you're likely to hear elsewhere this year.
Remy is a smooth operator indeed and I fell for her as soon as I discovered her belatedly with 2018's In a Poem Unlimited. She's someone with a deeply serious agenda, charting the spooky corporate, ever more rotten world we live in. But she sugar coats her product in the most alluring pop packages with sleek melodic and danceable songs gloriously reminiscent of peak Eighties Madonna, Prince and Jam & Lewis.
If you want to know what issues Remy is exploring and why, I'd direct you to a fascinating interview here on Stereogum. If not just enjoy the funky and immediate record. U.S.Girls are operating at the top of their game on both fronts. They're quite remarkable. Bless This Mess is merely the latest example to argue that case.
