At 76, Pierson's voice is still recognisably that of Love Shack; these dozen tracks, recorded with some of David Bowie's later-period musicians, giddily skip between electro pop, Bangles-y rock, dance and disco.
Behind Evil Love's brassy groove lurks a tale of possessiveness and revenge, while her activism fires empowerment anthem Higher Place with sparks that incite a riot in us.
The deepest undercurrents are on The Beauty of It All, a very personal song about how meeting her wife Monica saved Pierson from a bad relationship.
This second solo album is so bouncily upbeat because she wanted to put out something positive in these dark times, infused with positivity slogans.
