The seventh studio long-player from the genre-juggling American rock band, and their first outing since 2014's hard-hitting
Hunting Party,
One More Light sees
Linkin Park taking their sound in a whole new direction. The ten-track set leans harder on the pop side of the rock & roll spectrum, with the band working alongside left of center pop star Kiara Saulters (aka
Kiiara) and radio-minded tunesmith Emily Wright (
Miley Cyrus,
Katy Perry) on the lead single "Heavy."
One More Light also features contributions from hip-hop/grime artists
Pusha T and
Stormzy, who appear on the album's second single, "Good Goodbye." [An LP edition was also released.] ~ James Christopher Monger
