THE REVIEW

Not bad for a first time: reviewing a CD discovered by chance and from a little-known band with very few online details... but de-baser also serves (especially?) to discover new music, right?

So... here we are!
In reality, these 3 Swedish guys offer little new, light yet captivating melodies, with many nods to things already heard: just listen to the first few seconds of "Got To Wake Up" to find striking similarities with the beginning of that "Pop Muzik" reimagined by U2.

All the songs are sung by the only female member of the group, Nina, who has a voice similar to Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl: indeed, if we want to compare this group to someone, I would precisely name EBTG.

"My day" sounds like a song by Massive Attack, while "On my own," very cheerful and carefree, reminded me of another Nordic group from a few years ago, Dubstar.

The CD flows pleasantly until about halfway through, then, starting from "It's Coming" (a slow one), the rhythm slows down, and continues without particular jolts until the end, with the remix of the first single ("Got To Wake Up"), which one could really do without... it almost seems that after a promising start, they lost their inspiration and "dragged" themselves to the approximately 45-minute mark of the CD.

In conclusion, a decent CD with a handful of really cute and catchy songs.
