Teletubby 148,938 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 6.5 The 4-year-old pop phenom and famous pig’s second album is a charming and self-assured celebration of family, friendship, and muddy puddles. [...] Peppa's 2019 debut, My First Album, was an unexpected smash upon release. The record racked up 136 million streams, reached No. 1 on the UK Independent Albums Breakers chart, and won accolades from fellow pop renegades Charli XCX and Lil Nas X. [...] On her debut album, Peppa made a careful study of Brian Wilson’s sunny melodies and progressive pop structure. She hews closely to this formula again on the wistful “Perfect Day” and on “Recycling,” which evokes Fiona Apple in its percussive use of glass bottles and tin cans. She interpolates British and American folk music on the cheery “The School Bus Song” and the contemplative “Winter Days.” [...] Yet Peppa’s Adventures is most compelling when Peppa departs from her standard chamber-pop formula. Lead single “Bing Bong Champion” is an ambitiously maximalist shot across the bow at those who called My First Album a Sarah Records retread. A tribute to sport in a fraught Olympic year, it moves with the grand air of Taylor Swift’s “State of Grace.” [...] The opener and title track, “Peppa’s Adventures,” a celebration of the natural world. Like her contemporary Lorde’s “Solar Power”. [...] The other political moments of Peppa’s Adventures are not as successful. “Recycling,” for all its delightful percussive flourishes, fails to consider the impact of the UK’s recycling programs on Southeast Asia, where landfills overflow with Western waste. A brief reference to private spaceflight in “The School Bus Song” is similarly ill-advised, given that billionaire astronauts continue to exploit the working-class. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/peppa-pig-peppas-adventures-the-album/ "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
