Music reviews of Nested
Music Review: Unrecognized Masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
Laura Nyro is my very favorite singer. Her music speaks to my soul, the struggle to be a light in a world so often in darkness. While many of Laura's other albums speak strongly to me, most notably New York Tendaberry, I've come to regard "Nested" as Laura's unrecognized masterpiece. As I've played it on vinyl and now CD over the years, the consistent level of writing and emotional focus in "Nested" are impressive. Whereas "Tendaberry" frequently flew to stormy rage & rending sadness, "Nested" is more happy & optimistic, well suited to a mother-to-be.
The album begins with "Mr. Blue (The Song of Communications)," a bubbly track where Laura sings, "I've been studying the radar in the sky," almost like she's trying to tune another person like a radio signal. "My Innocence" sways with a jazz tinge in Laura's pop confection with the beautiful lyric, "My innocence, I give to my lover, to his lips; My innocence I give to my cold cold lover; Earth under my feet splits in the sun, the nest blows away, the sweet summer days die young." "Crazy Love" follows with Laura's songcraft melodic & catchy. The set moves to another sterling track, a biographic detailing that seems to speak of Laura re-signing with Columbia rather than going with David Geffen's then-new Asylum Records, "There's nothing we can do, we couldn't get there in time; It's too late, she signed on the dotted line." "Springblown" seems like an unassuming soft track but sticks in my head with its lovely swaying refrain, "I've been waiting baby to set my soul free; Still baby, everytime I see your face, it's like a warm embrace to me." Another incredibly original track follows like fireworks, "The Sweet Sky," "I was mixed up like a teenager, Now I'm gone like the 4th of July." "Light -- Pop's Principle" bubbles with Lydia Nata's percussion sparkling as words of wisdom penetrate, "In your flight, send your love out to the planet's soul cause all are one & all living things they need some light to grow." Laura's amazing set continues with the glorious "Child in a Universe," "I'm just a grain in the universe; I come from Earth, and the Earth is a grain in the galaxy, Could you send some peace on Earth to a child of the universe?" "Nested" concludes with the hopeful, joyful title track. Laura Nyro was at her most joyful on this set. It's a supreme pleasure to have the disc on CD. Bravo!
