Music reviews of Instincts
Music Review: Instinctive
Rating: 5 Stars
New Wave began to really take off commercially thanks to the debut of MTV in 1981 and here you have an incredible band with just enough crunching guitar, beautiful sax and the most deliciously haunting and caressing vocals EVER courtesy of the lovely lead singer, Deborah Iyall. On Instincts, their 3rd and unfortunately last effort, an entire potpourri of emotions a la music is brought into the spotlight. This album, their most commercially accessible, somehow slipped through the cracks of the mainstream. "Instincts" opens with a powerful song entitled, "Out on My Own" and is followed by similarly moody, deep and brooding songs that tell stories which straddle the line between love and heartache, but by way of a more poetic vehicle than what most bands at this time were putting out. The closest comparison to Romeo Void for me would be The Motels (and Martha Davis.) The anthem (and first hit single from Instincts, "A Girl in Trouble (Is A Temporary Thing,") had the distinct makings of becoming a single womens' anthem back then, but oddly, did not reach the masses of women it could and should have, where it was so controversial. My favorite song off this album next to the lead and 2nd singles ("A Girl in Trouble" and "Out on My Own,") is "Your Life Is A Lie." The crunching guitar juxtaposed with Deborah's haunting vocals and Bossi's nocturnal-sounding sax is a magical combination. The title cut also comes in very high on my list of favorites from this historic, awesome release. Iyall could have lulled an entire maternity ward full of crying babies to sleep with the sound of her voice alone on this one. I highly recommend this album from an 80's band whose life in the limelight was so unfairly short lived and more curiously, unjustifiably so. Romeo Void should have had (with the correct support of their record label (CBS,) hits well into the 90's just by their talent alone. Furthermore, there were reports circulating (then) that Deborah's appearance (where she was overweight) was an issue for the record company (Columbia) which is deeply saddening. It's about the "music," NOT about the appearance of the artist or artists ANYWAY. Besides, Deborah's got a gorgeous face and a beautiful spirit, so they can all go "f" themselves. Romeo Void was a GREAT band and "Instincts" was an incredible recording at a time when image didn't overshadow true talent. 'Nuff said.
