The power duo that makes up the band Sylvan Esso recently released a new album titled “Free Love”. This is the first album released by them since 2017.

Sylvan Esso is known for their edgy yet comforting electronic pop music, and this album stays true to that. It begins with a song titled, “What If”, which is a soft melody with subtle techno elements in the background.

The rest of the album is full of the lead singer, Amelia Meath’s soft and whispery voice paired with Nick Sanborn’s electronic elements and instruments. I think this album very much fits the mood and style presented by Sylvan Esso in previous albums.

The album finishes with a piece titled “Make it Easy” which is a little different than most of the songs on the album. This change left me wanting to listen to more. The reason that this song was so much different was the tempo they set the song to was very monotone, and almost creepy in a sense. I very much enjoyed it, it was just very different than the rest of the album.

Overall, I enjoyed the album in its entirety, there were some weak songs that did not spark my attention, but there were a few songs that really stuck out in a positive way. I would definitely add this album to any playlist of mine. It is the perfect music to play in the background of a coffee shop, so if you fit that aesthetic this album is for you.
