3.5 great | Gene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | January 19th 21 | I mostly welcome challenging listening experiences. I always try to give them a fair shot. I often come off confused or unimpressed. Some odd opposite-magic happened on 'Out of Stars', for I've found myself challenged in the most unexpected and subtle yet fundamental way. Everything about the album seems conventional and not far from commonplace jazz experimentation. I admired Kaja's fusion of classical music and vocal jazz into some minimalist structures and progressions. But increasingly (and mind you not even necessarily with one listen) I've found myself put off by the minimalism. And even now I cannot quite tell, whether it is my misunderstanding of the instrumental and production concept or whether several instrumental choices truly were misplaced and ill-advised.
