Rating: It was 1995 when the airwaves were dominated by the first single from this album: "Strange World". It's an excellent song, which owes its success to the extremely catchy and easy chorus, to the splendid voice of the artist: Ké (born Kevin Grivois). And last but not least, to the stunning violin solo, which gives it an air of poignant melancholy. The album contains eleven other tracks that are not merely supporting the aforementioned single, but are pieces with a remarkable musical depth, truly fascinating.
The most original and unique characteristic is the way the artist uses his voice, almost caressing and brushing the notes of these twelve tracks. Just think of the second track "Someday", endowed with a sound that envelops Ké's voice (already very unique in itself), in an aura of soft mystery. Other noteworthy tracks include: "I Don't Wanna Go", "Don't Walk Away" the second single, "All You Ever Wanted" and the splendid "Holding On". As can be perceived from the title track's lyrics, at the conclusion of the album, the central themes of the work are: abandonment, loss, and the difficulty of personal identity. This is also evident from the cover: an identification document with a photo and fingerprints, but the spaces for personal details are blank. And as unmistakably suggested by the album’s title: I Am [ ]. He would return a few years later with the less brilliant: "Shiny".
Tracklist Lyrics and Samples
01 Strange World (04:33)
Is this our last chance to say all we have to say
hiding here inside ourselves we live our lives afraid
so close your eyes and just believe in everything your told
'cos in this land of great confusion it's easy to give up control
*chorus*
Strange world people talk and tell only lies
Strange world people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world dream one-day we'll see the light
Strange world believe and everything will be alright
And this is the place where everything begins and ends again
no secrets left to find no seven deadly sins
this world that we have wasted has kept us very well
when science now is sacred who will save us from ourselves
*chorus*
Strange world people talk sometimes I wonder why
Strange world people kill still no-one hears their cries
Strange world burn these thoughtless tears out of my eyes
Strange world
*chorus*
