Music reviews of Ten Feet High
Music Review: Ten Feet High Soars
Rating: 5 Stars
Andrea Corr's debut solo effort is an enchanting success. What makes this collection work is that although she has crafted songs that have their own identities and personalities they all work cohesively together. I have listened to the disc from start to finish and every time it is a complete and satisfying experience.
She opens the disc with "Hello Boys" a saucy and confident electro ditty that is a kick in the pants and lets you know at once that Andrea Corr isn't afraid to do her own thing. It's not The Corrs and it isn't supposed to be. What follows are 10 other tracks that explore the human condition in a way that feels very much like a journey.
"Anybody There's" military beat, signifying routine, works perfectly with the lyrical action in the song. "Shame on You" is a commentary that smartly pairs the sentiment with a confident dance beat--it's not a sleepy, preachy song but a strong point of view augmented by an equally strong beat. "I Do," with its music box sound accurately sums up just what love as an ideal sounds like. It's a perfectly crafted song.
The title track is a true gem. The instrumentation of the music truly takes flight. The wistful piano and the melancholic rhythm gels so well with the lyrics of a love that can't be idealized anymore. What follows is the cheeky and fun "Champagne From a Straw." It almost has a mambo-like rhythm which again completely illustrates the world she is creating with the lyrics about the frivolity of celebrity. She uses horns as the song bounces around like an oblivious starlet prancing through her hollow world.
"24 Hours" is the most straightforward on the album. It's a dance song that works because it's simple and wears its beat on its sleeve.
"This is What it's All About" is a beautiful song that lingers slowly with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and Andrea's sweet, sultry voice. You feel what she is talking about in the song because the music so perfectly fits the song.
"Take Me I'm Yours" is the only cover on the album and it fits right in with the other original songs It's a sexy, electronic groove that makes you want to move.
"Stupidest Girl in the World" is my favorite track. Great transcendent music that hits right at the core. It has a terrific soulful bridge and makes tremendous use of the piano to close out the song.
The album closes with "Ideal World" which is an ideal choice. It's a simple rumination on life, expectation and dreams and Andrea's vocals never betray the truth and sentiment of the song.
The theme here is how well Corr matches her well sung lyrics with music that so effectively captures their meaning. That is something to be applauded because so much nowadays in popular music is just the same bland beats with trite lyrics. This album doesn't sound like everything else out there. Andrea Corr and her producer Nellee Hooper seem to use all the soundscapes at their disposal to create a rich, diverse yet totally cohesive album that truly does soar ten feet high.
