Meg Remy's latest album, 'Scratch It', marks a significant stylistic shift from her previous work, moving from '80s electro-funk to '60s country infused with elements from Nashville and Vegas. This transition underscores her embrace of contradictions and the hyperreal aspects of American pop culture. The album reflects an accessible yet complex mix, inviting listeners to explore the blurred lines between satire and genuine enjoyment in music. Remy’s innovative approach makes 'Scratch It' both a critique and a celebration of pop excess, with tracks evoking a vibrant, almost surreal atmosphere.
On her most immediate and accessible album yet, Meg Remy trades the '80s electro-funk of Bless This Mess for '60s country tinged with Nashville and Vegas, embracing all her contradictions with gusto.
If it's typically impossible to tell when she's satirizing and when she's simply feeling the pleasure of singing and moving her body to a well-made song, that ambiguity is probably the point.
