-
Apr 24, 2014It's a riotous and brazenly euphoric form of rock'n'roll.
-
Apr 24, 2014Dalle sounds as if she’s on autopilot for much of Diploid Love; she’s obviously got talent to spare, but she’ll need to provide herself with a sterner challenge than she has here if she’s to truly capitalise on it.
