Free Music Notes for Little Lights Album
Free Music Review: dissapointing
Hit: 3 Stars
As always, Kate's voice is lovely,and her interpretation of traditional material is uncommonly sensitive, but I have to say that this album is dissapointingly monochromatic. Most of the songs here seem to be moderately upbeat, sung in a moderate tempo, and not very interesting melodically. Good for 'wallpaper music,' but little else. Kate is very good at doing the happy thing, but, as anybody who has heard her previous two albums knows, she is also very, very, good at doing the tragic heartwrenching thing, and I would have liked to hear some of that on 'little lights.' Even the sad songs on this album ('playing of ball,'etc ) lack the sense of grand tragedy you get from listening to 'I am stretched on your grave' (from 'Hourglass') or 'Ranzo' (from 'sleepless.') And I know a lot of people would dissagree with me here, but I think that if you are going to sing songs in a traditional style, you might as well sing actual traditional songs, and not bother making up your own-- they just aren't as good. Buy 'Hourglass.' Don't bother with this.
