Incomparable

(4 out of 5 stars)

"There's no one like Keren Ann - in this century anyway. Her singing style might be best described as "softspoken", pun intended, but the overall effect is mesmerizing, soothing... I slightly prefer "Nolita" over this effort, that CD is darker, haunting, but this is also very very good. The title track, with its ironic but key "This is why I always whisper" lyric (it really is like listening to a whisper to a scream) sets the tone and the rest of the disc just sails along. Other standout tracks that keep the mellow spell intact - By The Cathedral, Polly, Sit In the Sun... heck, theyre all good, if in pretty much the same mode (except Sailor & Widow, which seems destined for an off-Broadway musical somewhere).



Having seen her live I got the feeling I was in Paris in 1935, listening to a sexy lounge singer coo her way through a series of unfamiliar torch songs, accompanied by an antique guitar, a piano, a french horn and 2 strings. That description might not sound all that great, but somehow, in todays world of WT hip-hop and screaming death metal, it really, really works.



Keren Ann is a talented musician who definitely has carved a niche of her own in the music landscape.

"This is a bit on the melancholy side. I liked it. I like to expand my horizons and I truly cherished the uniqueness in this piece. On a lonely night, or a dark and dreary day this will extend the mood into infinitum"

"I had bought Keren Ann's French album "La Disparition" and when I listened to this album, a couple of the songs are the same as her French album, but English version.

Overall, it's a mellow CD and I would recommend those who enjoy Keren Ann's music to check out Carla Bruni."
