Album of the Month: Disclosure - Settle

With Radio 1 legend Annie Mac citing Settle as the album she can’t turn off, Disclosure’s debut is already the roaring success that well-established house producers have spent years trying to create.

Disclosure, aka South London brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, compared Settle to Daft Punk’s music ‘in the sense that it's a vocal album’. Howard said: ‘There aren't many dance albums with full vocals. We don't really know why. You need the vocals to capture your tune and lift it now and again’.

Released yesterday, the album features the singles which smashed the charts this year – ‘Latch’, a collaboration with Sam Smith, 'White Noise' featuring Aluna Francis of Alunageorge and 'You & Me' featuring Eliza Doolittle.

Settle also sees the boys collaborating with labelmate Jessie Ware again on ‘Confess To Me’. Ware first worked with Disclosure when they remixed her single 'Running' in 2012. Jamie Woon, London Grammar and newcomers Ed Mac and Sasha Keable also feature.

The album’s tracklisting is as follows:

1. 'Intro'
2. 'When A Fire Starts To Burn'
3. 'Latch' (feat. Sam Smith)
4. 'F For You'
5. 'White Noise' (feat. AlunaGeorge)
6. 'Defeated No More' (feat. Ed Mac)
7. 'Voices' (feat. Sasha Keable)
8. 'Second Chance'
9. 'You & Me' (feat. Eliza Doolittle)
10. 'January' (feat. Jamie Woon)
