Description of City Beach
Jill Cunniff, the poignant pop chanteuse from Luscious Jackson hasn't been in the public eye for six years, but has created a solo album entitled "City Beach". Dedicated and inspired by Coney Island, New York, a city beach known for its faded glory, the album is a breezy, earnest, yet celebratory piece-aglow with motherly wisdom and metrical nods to the unassailable grit and color of urban life.Luscious Jackson fans who bemoaned that group's demise in 2000 will be pleased to hear of the debut solo release by founding member Jill Cunniff. Unfortunately, this sample-and-groove-based record sounds like it was made at home with late '90s equipment, not to mention ideas. The samples are loud in the mix, and don't show much originality. The same can be said for Cunniff's lyrics, which start with "Here's a song for lazy girls and laid-back boys/ Who never quite outgrew their toys" on the track "Lazy Girls," and don't improve from there. Cunniff's voice sounds as clear and melodic as ever, and the few songs that reveal a Brazilian influence are pleasant. Let's hope that next time she can either bring back some of the layered, multicultural funk of her former band or find a way into Hip Mama territory with a touch more invention, or soul. --Mike McGonigal
