Free Music Notes for Pink Pearl

Free Music Review: A mature and fascinating collection
Hit: 5 Stars

Anyways, Jill has improved by wide degrees as a lyricist since "I kissed a girl" (which was very clever anyway). There are some lines that are just breathtaking... like, pull over to the shoulder and rewind and listen again quality lines. The thing is, someone was explaining this album to me... "lucy at the gym" sounded lame and "mary kay" sounded just... well... awkward... but, then I heard the songs and... wow... "Lucy" is one of the most compelling character studies I've ever heard. The sinister twist at the end, where she goes to heaven and G-d say's "here's the gym"... wow, just a knockout. Goosebumps everytime. And "Mary Kay", well, it ranks right up there with Freedy Johnston's "Dolores" (apologies to Nabokov) as far as odes to pedophilia go... Seriously, it makes you care about an unsympathetic character, and that's a tough job.

Not a weak song on the record... personally, I can't stop listening. I never knew Jill could become such a complete artist. Of course, with the major label deal gone, and corporate scumbags ruining pop music, she'll never make a dime for all the genius, but some of us care. Thanks Jill. Thanks for still trying.
