ALBUM REVIEWThe English electronic outfit's fourth full-length, The Greatest Love continues London Grammar's winning streak of albums densely packed with emotive, electro-tinged pop gems that center on Hannah Reid's hypnotizing vocal acrobatics. Declarative album-opener "House" is classic London Grammar, with Reid's instantly recognizable singing riding a skittering beat surrounded by irresistible production that burrows its way deep into the core. From there, the haunted "Fakest Bitch" highlights the singer/songwriter in Reid, crafting a tale of betrayal and pain with simple acoustic backing before plunging into some of the catchiest songs in their catalog, like the melodic, location-specific earworms "LA" and "Santa Fe." In addition to the standout "Rescue," the stunning title track (with lyrics to match) cements the LP's strength with power, honesty, and unflinching lyrics. Goosebumps cascade across the body as Reid sings, "I need you because you are a woman/And I'll hate you because you are a woman/And I'll love you because you are a woman." Deeply moving and spiritually nourishing, The Greatest Love is yet another gorgeous exercise in both controlled, sonic perfection and sheer emotional grandeur from Reid, Dominic Major, and Dan Rothman.
