U.S. Girls bring angst to the dance floor on 'In a Poem Unlimited'

by Preston Radtke On U.S. Girls’s sixth full-length album, the project finds a sonic balance, a beautiful conglomeration of sounds spanning multiple genres and personalities. U.S. Girls’ brand of electropop is more integrated and well-rounded on this release than ever before. Jazz, disco, and funk are all blended to help shape this project’s ever-growing sound. Thematically, the record deals with typical problems that women face in 2018. Lyrically, the record is fierce and defiant. Instrumentally however, that same angst and confidence seems lacking.
