Music reviews of Kooza (Dig)
Music Review: Who wants to dance the Kooza! Not me...
Rating: 2 Stars
Since Kooza's premiere in Montreal, the music has been a touchy subject among Cirque fans. Kooza aims to infuse a mixture of pop, 1970s funk, big band and traditional Indian music under the signature Cirque du Soleil music experience. Unfortunately, this attempt seems to fall flat on it's face, which really is a first for Cirque.
The problem with this soundtrack is that in it's 'pop' influence it has included the idea that one good line should be written, then simply play it over and over again. Kooza's soundtrack ends up boring the listener in more that one place. Songs to avoid on this are 'Royaume', 'Superstar 1 + 2', 'Alambre Alto', 'Hum Jaisa Na Dekha', 'El Péndulo de la Muerte' and 'Prarthana'. Most of the album.
The soundtrack also seems to take the pieces the extreme. Rather than staying 100% faithful to the original score, the musical directors opted to hire a string orchestra, a young boys choir and even threw in an ehru to add to this album, all of which sound horribly out of place and were completely unnecessary. 'L'Innocent' which has a beautifully arranged piano part in the Cirque Du Soleil Collection- Songbook, here sounds like a high-school band trying to imitate a Disney overture.
Another gripe with this soundtrack is that the fan favourites were remixed and heavily changed on this album. 'Junoon' and 'Don't Be Afraid' were two very promising Cirque songs, and on this album they have been badly produced or dramatically changed from the original score. 'Don't Be Afraid' gives me goosebumps, but not because it's hauntling beautiful like it used to be, but because the singer sounds as if she is whispering right into your ear. This removes the amazing atmosphere the piece originally had. In addition, who is naming these pieces!?
With the major problems aside, Kooza does manage to deliver a handful of good songs. The opening, 'Kooza Dance', has quite a catchy tune following the unsavoury voice over, and 'Pearl' is sung very well with a nice arrangement. However, these songs really don't make up for the disappointment this clumsy soundtrack is.
