I?ll die on my hill that Chrystia Cabral is one of the most interesting Bjork clones out there, but she makes a lot of the same mistakes that modern Bjork records make. The fourth album sees Chrystia continue down her haunting and anthemic style of avant-pop. But the issue that I always have with her music is that the vocals never fit the instrumentals. Her evolving vocal delivery should sound so beautiful over a complete chamber pop album or even a synthpop album. However, she chooses this dark and haunting style, which deserves a low vocal range, which she does not do. Overall the fourth album does not move the needle for me on how much I don?t get the hype of Spellling, but hey maybe one day it will click with me.
