Album Review: Kindess - Otherness

The new album from London songwriter Adam Bainbridge paints a sophisticated portrait of the pop impresario’s vision.

Otherness draws on the same emotions as its predecessor, World, You Need A Change Of Mind, but with a calmer palette of sounds. The more pensive atmosphere sees the spontaneity of jazz combine gracefully with the expressiveness and accessibility of pop, as on the cloud-busting collaboration with Swedish pop singer Robyn, Who Do You Love?. “There’s something else if you listen,” she gently insists over a layer of heavenly synths, perfectly encapsulating the appeal of Otherness.
