Charli Brix has been one of the hottest voices in drum & bass for some time, which means a debut album has long been awaited by fans and critics alike. Finally, it arrives in the form of The Art of Change on Flexor Audio. It is an expansive and ambitious collection of sounds on transparent orange vinyl with some hefty collaborations. Visages & DRS appear on the opener for example and bring that pensive wordplay next to Charli’s soaring soul. Elsewhere there are slow jams like ‘Sometimes’, neo-soul smoochers like ‘Reminisce’ liquid gold grooves like ‘Afraid Of Love’. A loved up and feel-good long player for sure.
