The arrangements mesh ambient synth patches with a subtle but insistent pulse, sometimes programmed and sometimes organic, and Wilson's vocals are breathy and thoughtful, meditating on her life and the world around her rather than getting the party started. Change walks away from the dance-friendly new wave attack of the B-52's instead, with producers and co-songwriters Suny Lyons and Ryan Monahan, Wilson has opted for a cool, low-key sound dominated by electronics and clean guitars (though the band rocks out decisively on 'Brother'). But in 2016, Wilson released her first solo EP, and 2017's Change follows suit in mapping out a very different creative direction for her. For nearly 40 years, Wilson has been singing with the B-52's, and their bouncy, upbeat sound - and the distinctive vocal blend of Wilson and Kate Pierson - has been her musical signature. Change is certainly an apt title for Cindy Wilson's first solo album.
