She does her homework for a dark electro-pop record exactly how the teacher likes it. However, aside from a couple of moments, the album is a bit flat.
Within the comforting framework of sweet Scandinavian electro-pop sounds, Robyn expresses her turbulent and sensual personality. It's a shame that a few tracks are a bit predictable.
Kalia gives the trombone the lightness of a flute. In this album, where she shares the stage with other formidable musicians, the beginning is perhaps a bit too academic, with somewhat predictable head-solo-head sequences. The second half of the record, however, is much more solid. 'Lift' features a beautiful guitar solo. Overall, though, her subsequent albums are much better, as the compositions create the right atmosphere for an instrument as special as the trombone.
Midori takes you by the hand on a dreamlike and atmospheric journey. Her synthesizers are like brushes, used to paint a texture that grows richer and denser with every listen.
