The Premier Album of 2025: The Artist's Lux Takes the Top Place.
At first glance, this album may look more like a difficult scholarly examination than the latest popular music album from a musician who just had a last hit was a collaboration with a global K-pop icon. Broken into 4 different sections and sung in 13 languages, we have a dizzying symphonic album investigating female mystery, spiritual transcendence, and bodily change, often via the perspective of various female saints. The end of a romance—a theme treated with raw honesty on another major 2025 album—is shot skyward here, supported by the lush sound of a major orchestra and input from an award-winning songwriter within a long roll call of collaborators. The pure daring alone renders the work of other pop stars appear rather small.
Transcending Academic Pretense
That Lux manages to transcend overly academic posturing is almost a miracle, with sole credit belonging to the artist. While it's not her first album to alchemize historical sounds with the present, the scale are much higher here, with the tightrope walk far more precarious. The element that really raises this fourth release, outside of its multilayered tunes, dense compositions, and engrained theatricality, is a core spirit of fun. Similar to the iconic artist during her height, there is a captivating sense to the vocalist's singing that pulls the listener into its whirlwind. Even when she's breaking hearts apart, the listener nevertheless desire to stay right there through the ride.
A Signature Moment of Exuberance
This exuberant spirit shines brightly during the stunning Italian ballad inspired by Saint Clare. It luxuriates in a sorrowful whirlpool for more than four moments. Then, everything drops away, and we hear a gleeful laugh followed by a declaration before a hilariously over-the-top orchestral surge thuds in like cartoonish force. The song then shifts to the wild single featuring galloping orchestration, an imposing choral group, and a cameo role from none other than Björk.
"The magic with this album is that the listener rarely quite know—nor wish to know—where it will go next."
Almost every track concludes in a totally distinct place than where it began. A track explores the fleeting trappings of celebrity with a featherlight symphony only to collapsing in electronic chaos. Another, a song echoing her earlier rhythmic work begins off moody and brooding, featuring menacing beats, before sudden traditional handclaps and an angelic chorus arrive to soften the song's rough edges.
The Balance Between Art & Accessibility
A key balancing act on Lux is straddling the gap of radical innovation and broad appeal. This is no surprise that it has achieved the artist's highest-charting release to break into the Top 5 of key charts: its heart contains a suite of utterly undeniable hits. One track sung entirely in the English language builds on a refrain that seems to collect increasingly infectious melodies while it spins skyward. This feat gets repeated by a different powerful ballad that grows and contracts, intertwining layered tunes as an intricate weave.
- A waltz-like song charms via its jaunty, Disney-adjacent drama and a chant-along chorus.
- In its words, it aligns the pop culture honesty of other breakup anthems, eviscerating an ex- lover labeled an "psychological bully".
- Across these tracks, the singing have a sharp edge, akin to a storybook figure hiding a blade: "Gold medal in being a scoundrel / You have the podium of disappointment."
An Opulent Banquet for the Soul
Lux is popular music on a grand level, an ambitious grasp for capital-A artistry in an era of looming artificial sameness. It rejects self-absorption in favor of glorious elevation, creating a dramatic drama that masterfully manages its own inherent ridiculousness. It is a deep well of buried gems that requires patience to fully explore but never seem like hard work. Where some big pop albums of 2025 felt like feasting on scraps, Lux is a lavish feast where the guests around it, some tipsy on holy wine, flutter from conversations about ancient figures, the profound feeling of heartbreaking grief, and shared gossip about useless partners. It is a modern-day theatrical production from pop's most endlessly creative practitioner.
