Reviewed: 2018-04-19 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: After a series of EPs, this is Carrington’s debut CD, which she says is about the healing and redemptive power of erotic love. What emerges is a collection of songs; some new, some spanning a few years, and a pair of covers, which are atmospheric, brimming with emotion, desire and resistance, and full of compelling sonic space. If You Like: Joni Mitchell, Annie Lennox, Hope Sandoval Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ Kiss Make Better – piano starts> midtempo song on relationships with wild instrumentation> slow fade 2/ Red Kiss, Blue Halo – electric guitar starts> midtempo song about relationships builds in volume & subsides, then soars> fade **3/ Hot Summer Sun – synth starts> rocking uptempo song about a trip to the beach> crescendo end *4/ Over Again – guitar starts> uptempo song on getting back up after failure> synth solo> guitar solo> > uptempo song> fade 5/ Love Chased Me – drums start> midtempo song on love with an off-kilter reggae beat builds in volume> fade *6/ Why Can’t He be You – synth starts slow> quick swing up to rocking fast tempo song on love> slows to fade 7/ Rising Sun – guitar starts> midtempo song on ending relationship & hope for the future> slow fade *8/ Come For Me – rocking guitar starts> solid rocking strutting song about love> quick fade *9/ Like Sonar – synth starts> midtempo love song with soaring vocals over swooping synth washes> fade 10/ I let You Kiss Me – synth starts> midtempo love song over synth washes> slow fade 11/ Didn’t Wanna – drums/synth starts> uptempo song with rocking reggae beat about the end of a relationship> quick stop *12/ You Are My Own Thing – synth/drums start> midtempo love song over sonic guitar/synth> quick fade *13/ Blue Moon – drums/piano starts> midtempo ethereal song over organ> vocals soar> slow fade | ||
