    It's classy and airy, although so stylishly produced (with French house guru Cassius) that it can feel like a soundtrack to an imaginary Ideal Home exhibition of laboratory-like perfection.

    It doesn't seem content with just being an enjoyable album, which makes it impossible for this listener to be content with its failure to live up to its own hype.

    There are much worse records out there but at the end of the day, and somewhat ironically, it's just much too kind.

    While World, You Need A Change Of Heart is pleasing in places, solid it certainly ain't.

    What's missing is the emotional heat.

    Amid the smartly rendered pastiche of this debut, Bainbridge references Prince and Janet Jackson, yet turns those joyous sounds unpleasantly arch.

    Its sound design may be impeccable, but World… sorely lacks grit.
