Right
from the rumbling drum intro it was obvious that Soeza’s first album for
Nottingham’s Gringo Records was going to be a goody. It is. Jenny’s
soulful voice is used to add sublime harmonies as well as evocative, breathy vocals.
The trademarks are all here – multi-percussion, signature shifts, French
horns – this is an interesting album that may well become teaching material
on a thousand music courses at ex-polys. Don’t let that put you off –
it will treat you well not matter how cursory your understanding of the mechanics
of music is. Try it; you’ll like it. It’s good. It’s more than
good – it’s clever too. |
