Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A bright, defiant pop-funk record of identity and freedom, Prince-indebted and joyful. Polished and acclaimed. Her most accessible peak. Later in the run, but no less essential.

On vinyl: The vinyl edition was part of the original release campaign and should be straightforward to find.
