LOUISE
HEAVY LOVE
WARNER/ADA
It’s a smart operator who has the self-awareness to realise that if you’re launching a comeback, you can’t rely purely on nostalgia or the good will of old fans to make it a success the second time around.
That thought has clearly sparked a fire under Louise, and her fourth studio album – after 16 years out of the pop game – sees her return with a feistier attitude than before and an arsenal of precision-tooled material that hints at previous glories but mostly brings her sound bang up to date.
