Free Music Notes for Shine
Free Music Review: Great acoustic tracks
Hit: 4 Stars
I have her prior album and prefer the acoustic tracks on this EP. I think the acoustic format fits her talents better.Free Music Review: Disappointing, not her best work
Hit: 3 Stars
The new track on this EP is nowhere near as good as her hits from "Wreck of the Day." The mediocre title track, two reheated hits, and a cover song from the RHCPs bodes poorly for her next album as Nalick looks inexorably headed for a sophomore slump.Free Music Review: A solid EP to hold us fans until the new album
Hit: 4 Stars
I, along with millions of others, became an instant fan of Anna Nalick with her Wreck of the Day album. Anna is definitely an artist who has quite a lot to offer with her music, and any fan will be psyched that we have this new Shine EP from her.
The title track is simply fantastic, with a hint of country while not diverging from the style we've come to know from Anna. The acoustic version is just as nice. Of course, the (pleasant) surprise here is a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Breaking the Girl." Anna strips down this song to just an acoustic guitar and it's interesting to hear a female perspective on it. Very nicely done. I have to say that I'm not too crazy about acoustic versions of "Breathe (2 a.m.)" and "Wreck of the Day" being included here. These songs are spectacular, don't get me wrong. It's just that most, if not all, fans will have already heard them. I think a couple of live songs, or perhaps b-sides, would have made this a perfect EP.
Overall, this Shine EP is a great treat to hold us fans until Anna's new album. Think of it as a tasty appetizer before the main course. It's certainly priced right, not to mention the beautiful photo of Anna on the cover (as usual).
