Free Music Notes for Fires (Reis)
Free Music Review: A Stunning New Talent
Hit: 5 Stars
A mix of the expected and stunning originality, "Fires" is a superb effort from emerging British singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot. With a voice reminiscent of Anna Nalick and a poppier Sheryl Crowe, she doesn't sound too out of the ordinary. But her songs are magic, she brings a new level of ease to the listening experience. Not challenging, the whole album is a joy to listen to as the songs are all equally magic.
"Fires" mixes radio-friendly hits with emotional piano ballads. The style is far from confronting, yet that is the essence of this album. Nerina succeeds in impressing her listener by not being too showy. The album is amazing because of it's simplicity. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Nerina doesn't feel the need of bearing everything or trying to limit the listener's pleasure by writing songs in morse code (a la Tori Amos lyrics).
The simplicity is astounding, but Nerina still managed to confuse me. I was confused by just how poignant this album. After repeated listens, it unravels and reveals itself as a magical piece of art.
She's not groundbreaking, but who needs to be in this day and age? Artists are always deliberately pushing soundscapes to new startospheres, creating primal scream hypnosis (Diamanda Galas), trying to imitate sex (Janet Jackson) and bombarding us with faux-rap over the internet (Sandie Thom, Lily Allen). It's just nice to hear the simple things done exquisitely.
"Fires" is a refreshing listen, sure I've heard the same formula before. But, this time, it's done with poignancy and honesty. I wouldn't be surprised if her next album becomes a Grey's Anatomy success. That would be a real detriment to her talent though. She is too exceptional for such a run of the mill show.
Fires (Reis) Poster
2006 reissue of this critically praised album by singer/songwriter Nerina Pallot. Fires kicks off with the single 'Everybody's Gone To War', a hugely successful revival of the protest song with one of the most killer choruses you are likely to hear. Produced by Howard Willing (Smashing Pumpkins) with Wendy Melvoin (Prince and the Revolution, Wendy & Lisa) and Eric Rosse (Tori Amos). 14th Floor.Folk Music CDs
