\"\"<\/a>Another positive review of Posh Pop<\/em>, this one from God Is In The TV<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toyah \u2013 Posh Pop (Demon Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even in her sixties and not far off her free bus pass, Toyah is still able to turn heads, as evidenced by the striking imagery on the artwork of Posh Pop, and also by the many highly entertaining videos she and her husband, King Crimson\u2018s Robert Fripp, have been unleashing on us throughout the lockdown period, providing some much-needed light relief along the way.<\/p>\n

What I hadn\u2019t expected though, was the diverse range of reference points you can hear on this, her first long-player since 2008. For example, recent single \u2018Levitate\u2018 seems to take its lead from Roisin Murphy\u2018s recent splendid resurgence, all fidgety dance beats and breathy vocals, whereas the fantastic \u2018Barefoot On Mars\u2018 recalls Bowie in its composition and is a heartfelt paean to her late mother (\u201cTurned my back on all you valued, I held you when you died\u201c) \u2013 it\u2019s deep and poignant, and stopped me in my tracks \u2013 I hadn\u2019t anticipated that Toyah was going to release one of the strongest songs in her canon this late in her career!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, \u2018Zoom Zoom\u2018 is seventies rock, pop and glam all rolled up and smoked in one pipe, while \u2018Monkeys\u2018 is pleasingly off-kilter in its delightful chorus.<\/p>\n
