Power (LP)
Seratones
Amoeba Review
08/04/2020
Seratones' new album, Power, is a blast of high-energy roots-rock and doo wop-inflected pop with impeccable, soulful lead vocals and genre-blurring arrangements. The fiery “Gotta Get to Know Ya” is all catchy grooves and organ solos, while “Lie To My Face” is a lovely '60s throwback where singer AJ Haynes proves she can swing effortlessly from strength to sweetness. The title track is infectious and danceable, and “Sad Boi” would almost be at home on a Janelle Monae record – intelligent pop-funk at its best. The album offers a lot of variety with solid songwriting and production.
