After collaborating with the likes of , spoken word artist , and Italian soul singer on 2010's , British acid jazz pioneers hand over the vocal reins to a younger crowd for their 15th studio album, . It's an inspired move showing that, 30 years on from their debut album, bandleader still has his finger on the pulse. While longtime singers and remain a vital part of the setup, the former kicking off proceedings in style with the bass-driven funk of "The Less You Know," the latter channeling the divas of the Studio 54 era on a cover of 's '70s cult disco classic "Ain't It Time," it's the new recruits who steal the show. German-born vocalist displays a maturity and soulfulness far beyond his 26 years on the lead single "Goodbye to Yesterday" and the summery jazz of "Don't Wanna Know," while Ronnie Scott's regular justifies the / comparisons on the gorgeously slinky chillout of "Restless as We Are" and the dreamy bossa nova of "The Stars from Here." If they can hang on to this highly talented lineup, then 's future appears to be in very safe hands indeed. ~ Jon O'Brien
