On her fourth album, Brooke Fraser touches on grand themes of human conflict and desire while hinting at the spiritual truths she’s celebrated as a worship leader with Hillsong United. Here she keeps the poetic insight of her earlier work while moving toward a moody electronica sound not unlike that of fellow New Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde. Fraser’s throaty, commanding vocals lend further heft to trenchant, beat-driven tracks like “Psychosocial,” “Kings and Queens,” and “Start a War.” From the rousing “Thunder” to the prophetic “Je suis pret,” Brutal Romantic matches lyric profundity with sleek production and indelible grooves
