Truth Is a Beautiful Thing by London Grammar
"Truth Is a Beautiful Thing" is the second studio album, written and conducted by British dream pop trio London Grammar. It was released on 9 June 2017, through their own record label Metal & Dust and Ministry of Sound / Sony Music Entertainment. The second full-length release for the British trio features production from Tim Bran, Paul Epworth, Jon Hopkins, Roy Kerr and Greg Kurstin. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 65, based on 9 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Singer Hannah Reid is still beset by the troubling complexities of love and relationships on London Grammar’s second album. That’s good news for the rest of us because anguish and sorrow are premium fuels for a pure, versatile voice that soars and plummets with rare melancholic grace. The trio’s music remains haunted and hymnal, minimal yet efficient, softly accenting Reid’s emotion and allowing itself to rise to gorgeous, euphoric swells on the slow-burning “Hell to the Liars” and the gently blissful electro-pop of “Oh Woman Oh Man”.
