After almost a month since I submitted an order, I finally received my copy of Cinderella Effect's Pearl cd today in the mail. Cinderella Effect is the side project for Blutengel singer Constance Rudert. She is accompanied by two other women, Katja Gutowski and Coralie Thomas. Pearl is the debut album by Cinderella Effect. Most of the songs are cover songs but they are re-interpretated in a more classical manner than simply re-vamping the song with a different singer. The instrumental intro and outro are the only original tracks by Cinderella Effect. The rest of the songs are gothic and modern rock classics like Siouxsie & The Banshee's "Israel" and The Cranberries' "Zombie". Being a massive VNV Nation fan that I am, Cinderella Effect's interpretation of "Standing" really stood out the most on the album. The song is so beautiful with Constance's polished pop vocals and delicate piano melodies. I love how the song begins as a ballad and slowly builds up as a midtempo dance song. The emotional lyrics and her lovely vocals mixed really well. I found myself hitting the repeat button to hear this song over and over again. Another great cover is Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" which has a jazz flavor in the vein of Peggy Lee's classic "Fever". This version is very sultry and will seduce the listener right away. Yes this album is pricey but the music makes Pearl worth listening to. Every single track on the album is excellent. I can certainly hear a hint of Tori Amos in both Constance's vocals as well as in the piano playing. It is nice to hear Constance Rudert take front and center as a singer as opposed to back up vocalist in her other band Blutengel. "Pearl" may be pricey but it sure as heck worth the money. I think I found my #1 album of 2006 for my best of list I will be posting here sometime this month.
