Fading love

"There are moments where you can hear FitzGerald toying with a melody that could easily fill a club or send a festival crowd into a frenzy, only to pull back and focus on melancholy once again; "Knife to the Heart" is the best example, with a titanic synth line worthy of EDM's bro princes relegated to spot duty. Its other highlights find a middle ground between the genteel, bookish techno of label-mate Jon Hopkins and the ruthless pop-house of Disclosure, electronic music's reigning boy kings. Single "Full Circle" and "Crystallise" manage an impressive balancing act: you can imagine them slotting in on the radio somewhere, but they also don't sound quite like anything else in that sphere".

"There's a graceful tenderness to each melodic phrase and a permeating atmosphere that exudes fragility-uncommon qualities for most dance floors, to be sure. As unexpected as it may seem, Fading Love is an accomplishment in craft and songwriting. Perhaps more significant is that it could conceivably be the first full realization of what FitzGerald has wanted to express with dance music since the beginning".
