Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.7/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

“Warm Chris” is carried by Harding’s vocal skill. She switches between gentle whispers, cartoonish repeats, and soulful croons with ease. The different styles keep the album surprising and make the songs feel their own. Unfortunately, the instrumentals fall into much more predictable coffee shop fodder. The quiet strings and brass are too understated and can border on sleepy. If given matching instrumental range, Harding’s voice could have really soared.

Aldous is now making definite pop music, but there's still intrigue in some of the songs here, especially deep cuts like "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain." Another solid album if not a little sleepy, but that was the problem last time too.
Definitely not quite up to the high standard Harding set on her last outing, 2019’s ‘Designer’, yet ‘Warm Chris’ is still an engaging listen with a strong sonic palette and tracks that lean into vintage sixties/ seventies pop/ rock.

There’s definitely a touch of poor mans Fiona Apple going on here, regardless its another wonderful release for NZ’s best female artist (yes Harding has Lorde covered)
