Free Music Notes for Julie Ruin

Free Music Review: Oooh....Its yummy
Hit: 5 Stars

If only this could be played on the airwaves instead of the sickening stream of Brittney, Jennifer and Christina, the world would be a much better place. Imagine a CD where urban women take on the world without shame.

First off, in addition to the usual concern about women's issues, eating disorders and stuff, there is a healthy criticism of police brutality against people because of their skin color. Because progressive political music should (like the non-music actions) be able to make connections between different kinds of oppressions, I was really impressed by the additional themes.

Secondly, being no big fan of hip-hop I was not sure what to judge the album by when advance reviews mentioned electronics influence, but I completely discarded my stereotypes and fell in love with the album's unmistakably original sound and concept. This is a new sound for Hanna, and I really think it continues her reputation as a true (as opposed to studio groomed) reccording artist.

I know my only regret at this point is the fact there is no sequel for me to go out and buy.
