Free Music Notes for Sixpence None The Richer

Free Music Review: The Harvester Is Near
Hit: 5 Stars

Since discovering Sixpence None the Richer I am now assured that there *is* hope for contemporary pop-rock. This cd is particular is melodic, rhythmically innovative, lyrical without pretense, quietly intelligent, and deeply meaningful in its overall project. Matt Slocum's songwriting (with some help from Leigh Nash)and production is solid throughout, the musicanship is original and refreshing, and Leigh Nash sings with a sense of phrasing and sincere emotion far superior to any of the current "pop divas." Nash has become one of my favorite singers due to the both the unique quality of her voice (at once confident and fragile) and, more importantly, her ability to invest a song with true feeling.

The songs themselves run from good to brilliant. The "Waiting Room" is the cut that begins to separate this album from the ordinary pack of 90s pop - followed by the tenderly magical "Kiss Me." Some might dismiss this song as run-of-the-mill pop on first hearing, but the more one really listens to the song and its different elements - the gentle guitar structure that moves the song forward, the romantic touches that come through from the various instruments, the sweetly innocent lyrics, and Nash's impeccable delivery - one realizes that this is a first-rate foray into the delights of young love. Compared to the crass explicitness of more salacious pop offerings (the awful "Bootylicious" springs to mind), this is a cleansing breath of fresh air. The song is followed by the honest and heart-felt "Easy to Ignore," a song that, with the simplest of lyrics, captures the other side of the coin - the hesitation and doubt that often accompanies new attraction. From here the band puts Neruda to music, shifting both the musical mood and lyrical emphasis of the cd, and serving as a mid-point between the more romantic first half of the album (save for "Waiting Room") and the more spirtiual second half.

Before moving into the spirituality of the latter half, "I Can't Catch You" offers more rhythmical change up combined with straightforward, tasteful lyrical testimony. But it is with "The Lines of My Earth" that the band really begins to raise this record into a higher plane - both artistically and philosophically. The last three songs, "I Won't Stay Long," "Love," and "Moving On" are the cd's best work, and are among the best music available today, making this recording one of the 3-4 best of the 90s (but there really isn't a weak cut on the recording). "Love" captures the spirit of St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinithians with such musical clarity that one has to conclude that the original author of these sentiments would have surely approved. "Moving On" is a powerful and confident expression of eager anticipation and preparation for transformative rebirth. Again, Nash sings both of this songs with flawless delivery - conveying Slocum's intelligently devout message in a way that makes it accessible and acceptable to anyone with a good ear and open mind. Slocum writes with tremendous reverence, but he does so with both the mind and the heart, and Nash presents his lyric with a beauty and clarity not found anywhere else in contemporary pop vocals. She is worth all the mega-stars out there - and more.

This is highly recommended - you won't regret purchasing what I am convinced is among the top albums of the past 20 years - or more.
