Free Music Review: Not what I had hoped
Hit: 2 Stars
I've been a huge fan of DS since '97 or so; sure the poppy hits Barely Breathing and Serena caught my ear, but the deep emotional resonance of the entire first album really sold me. I've followed Duncan ever since, from movie soundtracks and acoustic covers, to the Drake-ish Phantom Moon, to Daylight and its odd psuedo-pop sound. After three or four listens, I could get into just about any song he played.
After hearing the title track from White Limosine a few years ago, I was disappointed; I finally asked for the CD this christmas, in hopes that I was missing something fantastic, like with Phantom Moon or even Daylight. No such luck. Of course this CD has the strings, and some emotional lyrics and songwriting...but it seems more dead, like it has to be resurrected. Sheik stays in the lower tones a lot, and doesn't get any vocal power infused in any of his tunes. Even the somber ones seem to be lacking in depth.
It's still Duncan Sheik, so at least you're getting a great songwriter and well-crafted tunes...it's just not something I want to listen to again. I would rather listen to any of his other 4 albums than anything on this one, unfortunately.
White Limousine Poster
Duncan Sheik became a household name with his very first single, the smash hit "Barely Breathing" from his Grammy?-nominated gold-selling debut album. But his mainstream success may belie the depth of his work; he has scored for film and the stage, produced ambitious records for other artists, and captured audiences around the world with his remarkable voice and songcraft. 'White Limousine' is Sheik's most realized work yet - a set of catchy, thoughtful compositions that are pro-love and anti-war, both perfectly simple and breathtakingly vast. Included in the 'White Limousine' package are two discs, labeled MINE and YOURS. MINE is Duncan's version of these songs; YOURS is a DVD-ROM enabling listeners to create their own versions. Using the software provided, the listener can isolate and remix 'White Limousine''s many sonic layers. This may be the first time a recording artist has released the entire contents of his or her album, instrument by instrument, giving listeners the ability to re-imagine the songs as they see fit.Alternative Rock Music CDs
