Music reviews of Loretta Young Silks
Music Review: Worth the money to a Sneaker Pimps fan
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a great compilation of a single, three acoustic songs, and a B-side. The single song is "Loretta Young Silks," and I can't say it's my favorite song off of the Sneaker Pimps album "Bloodsport." It has a nice trip-hop beat.
The thing that makes this single stand out apart from other singles is the acoustic versions of songs. When the band is very synthetic sounding, hearing them acoustic is quite a difference. Every acoustic song is beautiful and accompanied with more string instruments than just guitars. All of the acoustic songs, "Empathy Low," "M'aidez," and "Loretta Young Silks" are quite beautiful, mellow, tranquil and serine. There are no drums; just a light acoustic guitar or two and what sounds like a violin. The singer Chris Corner's voice stands out breathtaking and fragile. "M'aidez" has an intermittent feminine sounding backup vocalist, but not former singer Kelli Dayton of course.
"Miami Counting" puts the single back with some synth, a scratchy guitar and a charming piano sprinkled in the song here and there. It's not a radio hit, but it is still pretty good for a fan of the group. The song seems to be about a trip to meet a girl.
Now for the realistic part, almost $20 for a 5 song single is a bit much, but if you are a die hard collector like me, you'll get it and love all 25 minutes of it. For a casual fan, skip it and pick up the album "Bloodsport." The music video of "Loretta Young Silks" on the disc would have been nice too.
