On the opener of Mt Pleasant, her debut album as Cosha, the Irish pop singer Cassia O’Reilly sings about our spinning planet with contentment and resignation. “Leave it, let it turn,” she coos over the cushioned synths and come-to-bed beats of Berlin Air .

This fulfilment has been hard won. Previously releasing a frenetic blend of rave-inflected R&B and elasticated pop under the name Bonzai, she scored herself a major label record deal that soured, leaving her artistic vision compromised. Striking out alone, she changed her name and started from scratch. The result is Mt Pleasant, a luscious, confident and carefree record that could only have been crafted by someone in control of their artistic intentions.

The brash beats and harsh electronics of Bonzai have been supplanted for something more sensual: sexual self-belief is the bedrock of the soothing No Kink in the Wire and charged eroticism is savoured and immortalised over woozy guitars on the Shygirl-assisted Lapdance from Asia. It’s still playful – Do You Wanna Dance joyfully traces the heated possibilities of a casual hook-up, while the over-sexed Hot Tub bubbles suggestively, honks of a trombone punctuating its horniness until a climax of freestyle saxophones.

Some precision is lost on Bad Luck, a repetitive shuffling song that lacks distinct melodies, and Tighter owes too much to Blood Orange and Erykah Badu. But the Auto-Tune-drenched Run the Track is sublime, the anxiety-inducing uncertainties of new love reshaped into something paradisiacal by its muted tropical textures and lapping rhythms. By taking artistic control, Cosha has clearly found peace.
