“Seeing Arlo Parks raving on a lit-up dance floor in the video for "2SIDED," the lead single from her third album Ambiguous Desire, felt akin to seeing Beyoncé at a Grizzly Bear show, or Thom Yorke in the crowd for Billie Eilish. You understand it's obviously physically possible that these things could happen, but you're left pondering how such seemingly ill-fitting puzzle pieces came to connect. ”
“On her third album, Parks uses thrumming club beats to propel a collection of tidy, emotive songs that sometimes feel a smidge too produced.”
“Inspired by an immersion into New York City nightlife, the English songwriter embraces the sounds of dance music on a set of studied, introspective pop songs.”
