Remember the late 90's / early 00's when everyone and their mom jumped on the techno diva bandwagon and we were treated to a disco redux? Driving four to the floor house beats, repetitious synthesized melodies, and even the old vocoder was dusted off and pulled from the 70's closet. Ugh.
Thankfully, though the The Bird and the Bee are an electronic pop act, they have nothing in common with the likes of Cher, Madonna, and the like. Instead, TBATB has smart lyrics, insistent (but not incessant) rhythms and catchy melodies, and a beautiful voice that's not filtered/flanged/reverbed/pitch-shifted into oblivion. Greg Kurstin's production is top-notch, slick without feeling plastic and artificial.
