 ████    English singer/songwriter Alexander O'Connor, aka Rex Orange       ████
 ████    County, has garnered acclaim for his low-key brand of '70s-style   ████
 ████    AM pop, a vibe he continues to perfect on his artful and           ████
 ████    heartfelt fourth album, 2022's Who Cares? On past albums O'Connor  ████
 ████    has showcased his knack for making hummable piano-driven songs     ████
 ████    that smartly evoke the classic work of artists like Elton John     ████
 ████    and Randy Newman, but with nods to contemporary indie rock and     ████
 ████    hip-hop influences. Recorded in the Netherlands with the           ████
 ████    similarly AM pop-influenced Benny Sings (Tim Van Berkestijn), Who  ████
 ████    Cares? is a perfect amalgam of O'Connor's throwback instincts,     ████
 ████    marked by sun-dappled melodies, orchestral sections, woody bass    ████
 ████    grooves, and a cloudy-day sadness that feels decidedly             ████
 ████    post-millennial. What's particularly compelling this time out is   ████
 ████    just how good the songwriting is. Previously, while O'Connor       ████
 ████    might have evinced a jazzy, '70s soul vibe, his writing could      ████
 ████    feel insular and lacking in the universal relatability of the      ████
 ████    artists he was drawing from. In contrast, on Who Cares? it feels   ████
 ████    like O'Connor is reaching out to his audience, crafting songs      ████
 ████    that manage to frame his own emotions in bigger, more broadly      ████
 ████    relatable ways. It also doesn't hurt that these are hooky,         ████
 ████    thoughtfully constructed anthems that have the vibe of modern      ████
 ████    standards. "One in a Million" is an earthy R&B cut that brings to  ████
 ████    mind Al Green, at the same time "7AM" soars with an ebullient      ████
 ████    Paul Williams-esque melodicism. Similarly, "Open a Window"         ████
 ████    (featuring Tyler, the Creator) conjures '70s Stevie Wonder, while  ████
 ████    "The Shade'' wouldn't sound out of place on a Fleetwood Mac        ████
 ████    album. Thankfully, all of Who Cares? sounds exactly like Rex       ████
 ████    Orange County coming into his own.                                 ████
