The product of all- consuming heartache, her feelings overrode her reluctance to write an album about love, and in the process became a kind of exorcism. What emerges is a wonderfully iridescent attempt to photograph a wound before it closes up but which in doing so, picks at it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, there is a continuation and expansion of a sound a machine with a heart that has taken shape over her last two records (2019's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eReward\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand 2022's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePompeii\u003c\/em\u003e) as Le Bon has increasingly taken control of the playing and producing herself.
