...another, deeper religion to the forefront: Disco. “Confessions” is a sweaty journey through a packed dancehall, with nary a ballad to be found. In her refreshingly bold “Non-Stop Mix,” the dozen songs overlap one another like a DJ starter pack scientifically formulated to simulate the club experience.

On “Intensive Care,” Williams eschews the dancehall crowd-pleasure of his moderately popular 2000 single, “Rock DJ,” for more serious fare. With his high-pitched voice and British accent, Williams has always been the thinking woman’s musical crush. His latest effort takes him away from the dance floor, and his intellectualism has never sounded better. The album is a showcase...
