Three of the most adventurous women in pop on one track, and none of them play it safe. 'New Shapes' is a study in restraint meeting ambition: the production has space, the vocal trade-offs feel genuinely considered, and Caroline Polachek's contribution in particular is one of the best verses she put on a feature in this era. A document of a moment in pop that was genuinely exciting.
