| 3.5 great | Bedex | April 16th 20 |
Starts off with a series of sublime, subdued tracks, but kinda lost me in the middle and longer than it needed to be. Her voice is as soft, delicate and light as it gets. 2-4 are all soft jams of a graceful blend of - I like the vocabulary for this - Spanish folk, flamenco, and what I imagine old Spanish movies' OSTs must sound like. In general this record feels much older than it actually is, which is a nice thing I guess? 5 changes it up with a jumpier, cheekier, kinda weird track with a jazzier side that I kinda enjoyed. A welcome break from the softeness, which 6 takes us right back to, this time with a sadder, more melancholic take. Up to this point I felt this as a 3.9-4.0, it is incredibly lovely. The a capella 7 and especially the monkish guest vox was a bit too much for me though, and is a turning point after which I never quite got back into the album. There are lots of instruments on display here, albeit very few play together at any given time. But things like the banjo on 8 got a bit too much for me, although the track is nice in places. 9 continues the same style, but a bit better. 10 goes back to the guitar-led softness of the early record, but felt a bit too whiny. 11 is Brazilian inspired, starting with sort of bossa nova vibes to end on Brazilian carnival music of sorts. By 12 the record feels really too long and the track gets especially annoying towards its end. Thankfully the closer is nice and fine. 3.45
