Music reviews of Triggers
Music Review: Triggers
Rating: 5 Stars
This new album from the petite chanteuse, as i have heard her called in the past, is a rather large break from her previous efforts in that it does not rely so much on the cover song, or the style of the artists that were covered. Paris in April contained more than iit's share of cover songs originated by the giants of 60's french pop, and Chrominance Decoder consisted of original material that was a sort of reinterpretation of the above mentioned pop. Chrominance Decoder did that and still somehow come off as inventive and fresh, due in no small part to Bertrand Burgalat. Triggers is Elinor Blake's second collaboration with Burgalat, and a massive improvement on the first, I might add. There are hints of the previous album's sound throughout, the songs are in English and French, and the wonderfully catchy pop tunes are still present, but that's where the similarities end. The overall tone of this record is rather more serious and less optimistic than it's predecessor, in my opinion. Burgalat has once again done an excellent job arranging the poppy, synthesized music that works so well with the lovely and distinctive voice of April March, though as in the last album it occasionally sounds like background music from a Dario Argento slasher flick(not necessarily a bad thing!). Also, every song on this record is enjoyable, which cannot be said about the previous ones. And there are no songs sung in two different versions, English and French, like in the last two records, which made them a bit repetitive at times. Anyway, this review has gotten long and incoherent enough, so i'll bring it to a close: If you are a fan of Mlle. March, M. Burgalat, or any of the groups he or she have worked with, it would not be a bad idea to check this out.
Description of Triggers
It's easy to dismiss a cultured American dabbling in groovy French music of the 1960's as un peu pretentieux, but April March (nee Elinor Blake) has worked assiduously at it for the last 10 years. And with the producer Bertand Burgalat she has built on a root concept with more and more high-flying sounds and songwriting; "Triggers" is her best album yetAlternative Rock CDs
