Powdered sugar. Colette dropped the DJ moniker, came out from behind the decks, and has arrived with a sticky sweet confection in Hypnotized. The album plays just as one might expect from Colette; the production is top notch and flows much like her earlier mix albums with care and precision given to how each track plays on the those before and after it.

Hypnotized is a breezy affair with lyrics touching on the well covered topics of sex and flirting though do not let the lightness dissuade you. The album captures the mood of summer with its languid mid-tempo beats and shares much in common with the Hed Kandi Beach House compilations where you can sing along with out being compelled to stop and ponder the meaning of the words and their impact. The music is for fun, no more no less.

If you are in the market to drive summers streets with the windows down singing with out a care or you want to bounce about on a hot, sticky night than Hypnotized is your album. As with most of her work Colette delivers and her latest does not disappoint.
