Free Music Notes for Lessons to Be Learned
Free Music Review: Very good, and very refreshing.
Hit: 5 Stars
I'll keep it simple and say that I was very impressed with her album. Yes, it's hard to match "Sweet On Me", but that song would be hard to match for any artist, and the album would just about be worth it for that song alone. I can say that I really like most of the album, with only about two songs that I'm not that excited about.
Overall, she's an amazing new talent and I'm very glad I ran across her music.
Lessons to Be Learned Poster
Limited UK 2008 edition of the Aussie performer's debut album featuring brand new artwork and five bonus tracks, 'Round & Round', an acoustic cover version of Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me A River', 'Warm This Winter', 'Echo Beach' and an acoustic version of 'Sweet About Me'. Island.It's hard to imagine someone even younger than 19-year-old Laura Marling making a splash on the music scene, but 16-year-old Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi is doing a pretty good job. Having smashed apart stereotypes of innocence with her killer single "(There's Nothing) Sweet About Me", Cilmi (pronounced "Chill Me") now offers a debut that's not only lyrically and emotionally mature, but boasts the kind of potent musical content guaranteed to propel you towards the dancefloor. Lessons To Be Learned is a diverse bag. Produced by Xenomania (Girls Aloud, Sugababes) it's seemingly influenced by everyone from Stevie Wonder to the Kings of Leon, though it'll inevitably draw the most comparisons to Amy Winehouse, thanks to Cilmi's soaring vocals, the record's modern-Motown feel and Xenomania's bright, punchy production. Opener "Save The Lies", though, is nothing like Winehouse--a big, in-your-face disco-stomper with a massive irrefutable chorus. The record drops from there into sultry soul territory with tracks like "Sanctuary", "Einstein", and "Safer", and more upbeat fare such as the electronic "Don't Wanna Go To Bed Now", rocky tracks like "Messy," and the bluesy "Cigarettes And Lies". These stylistic diversions set Cilmi apart from the rest of the 'new soul' brigade, and help give her a voice of her own. -- Danny McKenna
