My daughter's label mate that we spent time with at SXSW, Fabiana Palladino, made the Guardians list of 50 best albums of 2024 (no. 17).

It is a very good album.

Fabiana Palladino – Fabiana Palladino
Fabiana Palladino cuts a surprisingly understated figure given the stature of her debut album, which she wrote and produced – and which revamps some of the most dramatic sounds of 80s pop. The spirits of Prince, Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis echo through these songs, with their luxuriant, off-kilter arrangements, skin-prickling vocals and febrile, bone-dry funk. Yet it transcends pastiche, both on the quality of the songwriting and often-minimal arrangements that speak to rather less straitened times than the opulent era of Palladino’s influences. Next up, catch her collaborating on Lorde’s fourth album. LS
