they're clearly not trying to reinvent the retro envelope...

My guess is:
* singles will play it super safe
* album cuts might get a bit more bold but probably not much
* the live show, though, may very well be super tight. both are exceptional performers who work with some of the best writers and musicians in the game. no guarantee but my guess is the show is where they'll put the heat if they decide to change things up a bit more.

Honestly, I really came to like LYDO (before it got played everywhere and to the ground), and Skate's fine even if it didn't floor me. If you come to the project expecting Winehouse, you're just asking for disappointment, imo; if you come expecting a fun throwback sound by really talented folks, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more out of the gate. Accept it for what it is, have fun with it, and anything extra will be gravy.
