Dance music is full of auteurs, and one of the greatest and most undersung is New Jersey’s Todd Edwards, whose cut-and-paste production style has influenced everyone from Daft Punk (whose “Face to Face” he coproduced and sang) to entire swathes of U.K. garage. For his first vocal album, Edwards keeps the songs brief but detailed, singing about his beloved Jesus through a vocoder in a way that’s completely disarming and rarely cheesy.
