After the
Magnolia soundtrack, we assumed that Aimee Mann would be a pop radio staple for the next 20 years. Of course, her deeply personal laments were imbued with more meaning in the context of the film, and we all sorta wound up ignoring Mann without Tom Cruise singing her lyrics. Big mistake. She's proven to be a creative lyricist and composer. Expect a sea change from guitars to synths on this latest effort.
