- Context
- Released in 2009, 'Let's Change the World with Music' is Prefab Sprout's first album in over a decade following 'Andromeda Heights' in 1997. This period marked a significant hiatus for the band, during which frontman Paddy McAloon focused on personal projects and songwriting. The return with this album reflects both a continuation of their signature sound and an evolution into more reflective themes.
