On this ultrasmooth outing, frontwoman Aluna Francis plays the friend longing to help a troubled couple in need. As painful as it can be, sometimes our friends know what's best for us and they have to deliver the cold, hard truth. Though mediators are often a neutral party, it's evident whose side she's on with lines like,"He wants minimal commitment so you're in a difficult position now / And I can't fight for the both of you / I don't think this is fixable / I'm not gonna get political, but darling there's no hope for you." Francis' musical better half George Reid creates a lush, soothing background for her to deliver her touching show of support.

"Mediator" is the follow-up single to "Mean What I Mean." For the album as a whole, AlunaGeorge continues to push their boundaries by experimenting with new sounds, a process that Francis says was intentional. "We were going for the holy grail of songwriting," she explains about the recording process, which was split between London and Los Angeles.
