This Dane Rocks

"Scandinavian exports have been flooding the music scene recently. The latest addition is Danish ice-queen Tina Dico, who formerly handed her vocals to chill out gurus Zero 7. Dico is following SiA's footsteps post-smooth electronica and delving into her solo career. Her first effort is a little short for an album.

Far is more like a promotional EP than a full-length release. It has six tracks on it and it showcases a young and eager talent.

Dico revisits her lounge days with "Warm Sand" a track reminiscent of her collaborators. Yet on the closer, she managed to deliver a stark folk performance on the melancholy mesmerize of "Back Where We Started."

Her voice is not spectacular but it holds a tune. The sincerity on "Break Of Day" proves that.

She captures escapism on "Let's Get Lost" and sweet enigma on "Haunted." The gender lullaby "Boys And Girls" is also a treat after a couple of listens.

Far is a great effort for six tracks. It captures innocence is a slow-mo manner. She had managed to please, now is the time for a full album.

"As it has now been said, Tina has released 2 albums prior to "Far", "Fuel" & "Notes", and if anyone's interested [and want to avoid going through resellers, like the other reviewer](...)

They carry "Fuel", "Notes" & "In The Red"!



Loving her music! :-)"
