Consequently, the album sews punk, northern soul, hip hop, garage and electronica together and then pulls the whole lot inside out. |
There are no big surprises on this record, no sudden forays into electronica or hip hop, no eclectic trawls through different styles and genres. |
There's plenty of old school and funk, but there's even some Motown soul, swing, Japanese rap, reggae, J-pop, samba and early electronica. |
A danceable cumbia or salsa track is mixed with other sounds, everything from electronica to rap. |
From the outer reaches of electronica, she comes engaged in a furious mission to save pop music from utter blandness. |
In previous instances when hi-tech visuals have been so closely married to music, it's usually been of the electronica type. |
