Tegan & Sara's stylistic detour could have been a risk after over a decade of slogging it out in the trenches of the Canadian folk scene and later as a respectable indie rock group. Heartthrob leaps into the world of mainstream pop with arms wide open, powered by the monster radio hit "Closer." Produced primarily in Los Angeles with Greg Kurstin, a frequent collaborator with artists like Kelly Clarkson, Pink, and Ke$ha, Heartthrob has catapulted the Calgary-born twins to a new level of fame and recognition without alienating their core fanbase or their intimate songwriting appeal - it is that rare pop artifact that doesn't sacrifice soul for audience. It helps that the Quin sisters have been upfront about their ambitions - what's so heartening is that Heartthrob feel ambitious without feeling hollow.

Les récentes circonvolutions stylistiques de Tegan & Sara auraient pu être risquées après plus d'une décennie de travail acharné à sortir des tranchées folk de la scène canadienne pour devenir le respectable groupe indie rock que l'on connait aujourd'hui. Heartthrob flirte désormais avec la scène pop mainstream qui les a accueillies à bras ouvert grâce à leur énorme hit Closer. Produit à Los Angeles par Greg Kurstin, collaborateur fréquent d'artistes tels que Kelly Clarkson, Pink et Ke$ha, Heartthrob a catapulté les jumelles originaires de Calgary à de nouveaux sommets de reconnaissance sans leur aliéner les fans de la première heure ou compromettre leur sens de l'écriture et de la composition. Peu nombreux sont les artistes pop qui peuvent se vanter de ne pas sacrifier leur âme sur l'autel du public. Les sœurs Quin ont toujours été limpides quant à leurs ambitions et il y a de quoi se réjouir que Heartthrob soit aussi ambitieux que senti.
