Reception and Impact

The album’s secret weapon is its sequencing. After the barnstorming first half, True slows into reflective territory with “Liar Liar” (featuring Blacc again) and “Shame on Me” (which incorporates jazz horns and a spoken-word bridge). “Hope There’s Someone” (a cover of Antony and the Johnsons’ hymn) closes the album with a jarring, almost uncomfortable fragility—a lone piano and Bergling’s own processed voice. It’s a startling end to a dance album, hinting at depths the party facade concealed.
