Tune of the Week: Laetitia Sadier on Her Own

Laetitia Sadier has always made her Marxist mentality obvious. Her lyrics for McCarthy and Stereolab never shied away from anti-Capitalist messaging. Stereolab songs like “Ping Pong” would occasionally provide a tonal counterbalance with a poppy arrangement. Here, in a song from her second solo album, she opts for a lush and more somber tone for her pleas to humanity to ride on. The result is even more emotionally engaging and beautiful.
