Search - Mike Macharyas :: Natasha Bedingfield

An album ( plus half a dozen out-takes ) recorded in a single night with the aid of a bottle of Beaujolais or two. Macharyas has always been happier outside of the studio rather than in it, and it shows here. The songs were already worked out, for the most part, before entering the studio. The writing of these songs were heavily influenced by Macharyas' burgeoning interest in becoming an author of poems and books rather than of songs. This shaped the words to these new songs. We have less of the story-telling in an obvious fashion and instead chains of imagery difficult to sometimes decipher. In any case, whatever he did, the words sound great! Some of the songs are great, undeniable classics! In a recent survey, 85% of music fans preferred idiotic biographical information about their pop stars. And we here at 14mercy are here to deliver. Not a single thing written above is true! But who cares? After all, I had to think of SOMETHING to write here.
