Prog soul? Avant R&B? With Loraine James’ new album, you could probably start a competition for the most absurd categorisation of what the London producer is actually doing. But the music doesn’t sound as exhausting as the description might suggest. It has a pixelated warmth, loves the adventure of beats and can even be funny. The story will have to sort that out, but so far »Gentle Confrontation« is her strongest record.
