That inquiry came in response to a piece of writing by its conceptualizer, who suffered an existentialist crisis after being interrogated about the “Masterton Trophy” and was sobered by the cautionary example of The Honky Tonk Man.

One track ponders “How much fortune can you make” and “does this get any better?” On another song the performer pleads “Wrestle with your darkness / Angels call your name”; that piece, “Isaac,” is much better than an earlier paean to the Big Apple which manages to rhyme New York with dork. Essentially a collaboration with Stuart Price, its 12 tracks are presented in a continuous mix format, a nod to its titular setting. It has already spawned the hits “Sorry,” “Get Together,” and its first, a slick single that saw a video in which its performer writhed around in spandex to the chiming of an alarm clock and a prominent ABBA sample.
