Music reviews of Keren Ann
Music Review: An intoxicating collection of ethereal reverb-infused melodies.
Rating: 4 Stars
I have been a fan of Parisian chanteuse Keren Ann since her debut release, La Biographie de Luka Philipsen in 2000. Not only is she gifted musically (she plays guitar, piano, and clarinet, and writes, arranges, and engineers her own music), Keren Ann is multilingual (she is fluent in English, French, Hebrew and Dutch). She presently lives in Nolita, an Italian neighborhood in lower Manhattan, which is also the name of her breakthrough 2004 album (Nolita). Mixed by Joe Barresi (Queens of The Stone Age, Alanis Morissette, Tool), her eponymous 2007 album, Keren Ann, is her fifth album, and her third album in English. It is an intoxicating collection of ethereal reverb-infused melodies that rival the best of Hope Sandoval (of Mazzy Star), Cat Power, Norah Jones and Feist. Dare I say I think of her as a young female Leonard Cohen with the voice of Astrud Gilberto? Her songs are sensual and cerebral. Complete tracklist includes:
1. It's All A Lie 5:40
2. Lay Your Head Down 4:46
3. In Your Back 5:36
4. The Harder Ships Of The World 4:08
5. It Ain't No Crime 4:17
6. Where No Endings End 3:37
7. Liberty 6:00
8. Between The Flatland And The Caspian Sea 5:28
9. Caspia 3:51

Description of Keren Ann
5th studio album from Keren Ann (author, composer, singer) Album produced by Keren Ann, mixed by Joe Barresi (Queens of The Stone Age, Alanis Morissette, Tool). emi. 2007.The fifth album from the Paris-and-New-York-based chanteuse is mesmerizing and beautiful all the way through. Unlike with, say, Mazzy Star or even Feist, Keren Ann shows that she can rise above the slyly sensual signing style to deliver actual croons. From the deliberately breathless vocal delivery to her own smartly minimalist and subtly layered production work, Keren Ann is the singer's finest work to date. Her voice remains the focal point, but intriguing instrumental choices dot the album, from the twisted, distorted guitars on "It Ain't No Crime" to the lovely flutes of "Harder Ships of the World." Just listen to the slowly-percolating "Lay Your Head Down," the album's first single. That song begins as an addictive combination of sparse guitar, hand claps, and crooning to gently accrue bluesy harmonica and guitar licks before drifting away in a layered wash of strings and Carl Orff-ish vocal flourishes. It sounds modern and from the more rarefied aspects of pop's past at the same time. You watch: Keren Ann just may prove to be Blue Note's smartest signing since that Norah Jones person. --Mike McGonigal
