Luomo: The Present Lover - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | Finnish artist Vladislav Delay, AKA Luomo (funny how his alias sounds more Finnish than his real name, but I digress), emerged a few years ago as one of the foremost names in microhouse, his Vocalcity album delivering some stirring, spacious, minimally-arranged dance music, the hook-filled vocals weaving in and out of his bare-bones arrangements. |
 | | The fact is, this album is more of a pop record than anyone else, Luomo pulling it off with such supreme skill, that if he were to do so, he could elevate the most mundane pop diva wannabe to goddess status in the blink of an eye. |
 | | The new version, however, is a much tighter piece of work, as Luomo transforms it into a flat-out gem of a dance anthem that borders on straight-up house music. |
