Pope Innocent X’s strength is that there is really never a dull moment, with Blackman constantly providing the listener new ways to absorb and appreciate her formidable musical talent.

While a wonderfully sassy and shamelessly tacky summer romp it may be, it does not quite reach the heights (low culture can get there!) that Nicolazzo’s previous work as a director has hinted at.

As a show that started late and goes for well over an hour, it starts to drag.

Little has changed over the years, but with shows like this, do we really want it to?

They control their sound through cutting-edge musicianship; they know exactly what they’re doing and don’t owe a damn thing to any scene or movement.

I envy fans who can remember seeing him in tiny venues with that same vibrant charm, free of the trappings and responsibilities of performing as a newly minted pop star.

Finishing off with Phone Sex – a new collaborative effort with Blood Diamonds – that oozed with a Caribbean-pop/dance aesthetic and left many exiting with unsure (but satisfied) smiles on their faces.
