CD Reviews

A musical journey just shy of perfection...

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I wish this review forum would allow for half stars, because I am really only just such a small step away from giving a full five stars. -- Charlotte's album captures an evocative nature and provides a taste of exotic accoustic beauty amongst a fog of entrancing classical undertones. The overall tone bears resembelance to fellow Parisian artists 'Air', with the help of their collaboration on the album. Throughout each song, Charlotte's voice whispers along to a sensational variety of musical intrigue and creates a unique empire of sound...an unruly yet captivating blend of genres: "Little Monsters" with its more classic rock/pop flavor, "Morning Song" with a softer accoustic/ambient feel, the classical lounge jazz feel of "Night-Time Intermission" and then going a bit stronger with more pop (a hint of country) and a slightly vibrant tone in "The Operation" and "The Songs That We Sing".

I only wished that Charlotte could have reached even further and gone even stronger with her songs and her beautiful voice...to have reached a level just a touch above those that she already touched upon, if only for one song. Even so, in all...a great album!!"
