Free Music Notes for Love in the Time of Science
Free Music Review: A most beautiful diamond in the rough
Hit: 5 Stars
With the plethora of recording artists, it's no surprise some great and deserving artists fail to find their mark in the U.S. music scene. So when I happen upon a relatively unknown artist of noteworthy talent, I am compelled to share my discovery in whatever avenue I can. Emiliana Torrini is one such artist.
"Love in the Time of Science" treks through introspective ballads to breezy pop electronica, encompassing a wonderful palette of emotions ranging from desperation to carefree youth. The music is gracefully uncluttered - poignant and balanced.
Comparisions to the most recognizable Icelandish musician, Bjork, are inevitable. Torrini's voice shares the same tonality and infliction as Bjorks, if only a little less shrill (I use this word affectionately). And while both musical origins spring from the same ethereal stream, Torrini carves a path that is undeniably unique and special. I say this at the risk of being burned at the stake by the legions of Bjork fans, but Torrini's lyrics and music are more accessible and satisfying then those of her fellow Icelander .... a "Bjork for the masses" if you will. That isn't to say Torrini is more commercialized and manufacturered. Far from! Her music is simply more harmonically and lyrically agreeable.
Too many popular artists today are single-faceted. It's commonplace for an artist to be great at either musical composition/performance or lyrical composition/performance, but rarely do they possess parity of both skills. Torrini balks the convention. Equal parts poet, composer, and performer, her talents combine to create music that is tantalizing to the mind, body, and soul. It's hard to resist the temptation to debate whether her lyrics accentuate her music or vice versa. But when you get down to the heart of the matter, what you'll likely discover is the debate is academic. "Love in the Time of Science" is simply a perfect marraige of poetry and music at its most emotive.
I often hear people describing a good album as one containing (insert your favorite number here) amount of good songs. I believe this is an unfortunate reflection of our times when attention spans are short and commercial marketability assumes top billing. It is utterly refreshing to find albums - complete albums - that is as enjoyable from the first note to the very last. "Love in the Time of Science" is precisely that. In my humble opinion, there are no stand-out tracks because all are equally magnificent. Each time I experience "Love in the Time of Science," I discover something new. I have wade through hundreds of mediocre and downright horrible albums in search of that elusive diamond in the rough. Artists like Torrini's make the effort all worthwhile.
