Album Review: St. Lucia - When The Night

The closing title track is the raciest and ends things on a high. A promising debut which satisfies the senses.



After last year's tantalising September EP left souls affected with its dazzling '80s-tinged electro pop, Jean-Philip Grobler – aka St. Lucia – returns with another batch of captivating gems with When The Night. His cited influences of Peter Gabriel and other bombastic powerhouses are certainly plain to hear on single Elevate, polishing those jagged edges with floaty horns and glossy harmonies, and in Wait For Love's falsetto, jungle rhythm and shimmering synths. The closing title track is the raciest and ends things on a high. A promising debut which satisfies the senses.
