After a four-year break from recording, acclaimed live outfit Crazy P returns with their ninth studio album. It may be 22 years since Jim Baron and Chris Todd founded the band as a jazz-funk, disco and deep house loving studio project, but "Age Of The Ego" is every bit as vibrant and relevant as any of their previous albums. In general it's a little more electronic and synthesizer-driven than some of their previous sets, with notable nods towards Italo-disco, synth-pop, electro and P-funk, but the constant presence of longtime lead vocalist Danielle Moore and their trademark attention to musical details means that the album never feels like a giant stylistic leap. In simple terms, the songs are as colourful, vibrant and entertaining as you'd expect.
