Free Music Review: Music by a *musician* - can you believe it?
Hit: 5 Stars
The music landscape these days is littered with singers who can't sing, songwriters who can't write songs. Ron Sexsmith can sing, Ron Sexsmith can write songs very very well and has been doing so for a long time. So easy to say, so hard to find--but here it is. Retriever is a great album of many moods, poetic lyrics, and ever-mellifluous melodies, there isn't a dud in the mix. I'm hoping he never goes big-time so we keep getting albums like this one.
Retriever Poster
Import pressing of his ace 2004 studio album. Long deleted in the US. EMI.After dabbling in the digital wizardry of drum loops and dissonant keyboards on 2002's Cobblestone Runway, Sexsmith returns with an elegiac yet hopeful piano-and-strings pop record that's somehow akin to the organic feel and execution of his earliest work, while also richer in texture and scope. His gift for melody remains inexhaustible and his lyrics tap into the soul-sustaining intimacy of relationships--even in the face of the most dire moods. "They're in the business of panic and control," he sings on the subversively optimistic "From Now On," "we're in the business of the heart, and of the soul." It's a paradoxical endeavor--for Sexsmith, joy and sorrow are always fused in the truest feelings--but never merely sentimental. Even without their stirring arrangements, these empathic, plainspoken songs would qualify as soul music in the deepest sense. --Roy Kasten
