MojoJun 25, 2025Singing with a sweet weariness, Kline can seem bemused by her melancholia, her resigned acceptance given an appealing warmth by a band whose gentle sway lends her pop miniatures depth. [Aug 2025, p.78]
-
Jun 26, 2025A tight 17-track, 38-minute album that should be welcomed by all fans but especially by millennials (and elder zoomers) aging alongside the beloved songwriter.
-
Jul 24, 2025With its clean, bright production, Frankie Cosmos have found a fitting sound on ‘Different Talking’, via their new era of lush, happier pop-rock.
-
Jun 30, 2025Different Talking doesn’t stray from Frankie Cosmos’ predilection for short songs—only two tracks of its 17 pass the two-and-a-half-minute mark—but Kline and the band make each feel like a universe in miniature.
-
UncutJun 25, 2025Thoughtful sixth album, which sees the songwriter wrestle with the growing challenges of life as she enters her early thirties. [Jul 2025, p,27]

Jun 25, 2025Different Talking, her sixth and latest LP, is more or less the same as what she’s been making up to this point: brisk, accessible, slickly produced indie-pop that subtly flirts with ambitious stylistic flourishes, but mostly settles for a modest, somewhat monotonous execution.

Jun 25, 2025Moments of rock brilliance are scarce. Your Take On, with dissonant 60s-esque guitars and talk-singing, is a jolt from whisper-soft vocals surrounding 2022’s Inner World Peace. Later tracks see development sacrificed for quantity. Despite treading familiar territory, Different Talking’s soothing melodies are tailor-made to accompany life's quiet corners.
