Dev "Bittersweet July"

While this collective was not as eclectic as her debut, Dev returns with a more consistent offering; a pair of two EPs by the name of Bittersweet July. While each extended play has its own strengths, gestalt falters in this context, but that can also be due to one's opinion.                                                    While I found some of the beats in part two to be more intriguing, I felt the songs in the first half to be more substantial, and while people may laugh when the buzzword "purpose" comes into play concerning modern dance-pop, the first half did not seem as disposable.  Best tracks: Honey Dip, Feel It, Kids, Who Needs a Heart, You Want Me, Gimmie Some.
