Tango in the Night
Fleetwood Mac
I heard “Everywhere” on a playlist a couple of weeks ago and immediately wanted to listen to Tango in the Night in its entirety. I quickly scanned my listening list in Todoist, and it turns out I already added the album in November 2023, when, according to my note, I heard “Everywhere” on Life with John Mayer!
Dreamy and airy, this album fits well into my current end-of-summer, relaxed headspace, yet still provides a diversity of tracks: “Big Love” scratches my rhythmic itch and seems to be heavily inspired by “Running Up That Hill,” with the up-tempo gallop and Fairlight CMI. “Mystified” provides a pleasant, mellow contrast to the drive of the previous tracks. My favorite track, “Seven Wonders,” is the kind of poppy, syncopated, catchy tune that I could play endlessly.
By the way, during my few days listening to this album, the reissue of Buckingham Nicks was (finally) announced!
