Customer Reviews
Not after the first hearing, Amy Enoteca "You Know I'm No Good" I have been completely blown away by a new artist. And who knows Paloma, comparison with Amy Winehouse is not new. Was initially offered a background singer in the direction of Winehouse. Yes, at first hear sounds like a tear Amy / Duffy. But actally If you take the time to listen to their lyrics and the arrangement of their beautiful songs. They come to discover that it is better on the same parbefore and vocally / lyrically better than the first. Their album Hawkins returns to the sounds of jazz 50's / 60 and American R & B. It is obvious that they were very vocal by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald (Upside Down, Broken Doll, Romance Is Dead ") and Etta James memorable fascinating climax to the track" infuenced Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful "(Broken Doll Smoke & Mirrors & New York). They did fit into the current flow of women London as Amy Winehouse,Duffy, Noisettes singer Shingai Shoniwa, Adele & VV Brown evkoing the sounds of the past, crun women. Aber gelingt Paloma, die sound off der besten meiner Meinung nach zu ziehen, würdigen, aber immer noch der Suche nach einem Stück ihrer eigenen Vibe in den Prozess.
1.Stone Cold Sober 7 / 10 - Are you an R & B influence on the time consistent with the horns and the end of the '60s Stax soul mood. Paloma vocals are full and fiesty here.She explained that they have a lover, "I have wind wilder / 190 mph /I'm in a totally different dimension / dance double in the ground / You think I'm crazy / a Hazzy po '/ But I'm dead sober. "A lovely kiss off course and the introduction of this album.
2.Smoke & Mirrors 8 / 10 - This song begins with the singing Paloma in full force with a single strike of a guitar. You could get a Winehouse "Love Is A Losing Game" and "Wake Up Alone" to this state of mind. But the up-time funk groove kicks in 7 seconds into the song there is this melody of their lives. Iespecially liked the back-up harmonies to the melody of the chorus.
3.Broken Doll 9 / 10 - Like "Smoke & Mirrors" voice Paloma begin this melody. But during this time of strings. The song has a nice soft midtempo R & B mood. Mit der Unterstützung der Saiten zu schlagen, alte und neue Stile verbindet es in einer Weise angenehmen. Paloma vocals are nearly perfect on this track. The agreement is impeccable, with the choir is approaching the end of the book. Paloma showsVulnerability on this track, singing "I do not claim to be perfect / I know I'm Damaged Goods / But I want to be left out of the darkness / as any woman would."
This is just a beautiful melody all around.
4.Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful 8/10- if you have not already done so, I suggest you listen to the lyrics in this song. Erie Paloma tells the story of this song during the verses. My favorite lines are: "I'm glad you're crazy" and "I can be anything you want me to dobe / But you want me. "The layout is excellent tool here. Spectoresque with the orchestra, this is an album highlight.
5.Upside Down 7 / 10 - an uptempo song, heavy on mood swings. Vocals Paloma fell in love here. A male singer to go with her support.
6.Romance is Dead 8 / 10 - I love this song, Paloma sings about a relationship that loses ramance. Like her lover has lost his chivalrous way, such as plastic flowers and a greasy fingersprinted birthday. Sing "I asked for a letter / email A / we go wrong?".
7.New York 10/10 - The passage best album hands down. Paloma tells of a lover has left him for another woman. The lady is in New York. I can not only its chorus' name had come to New York, New York, and took his heart away from me / you have been appointed New York, New York, he finds his sweet spirit poisend. "This is a another track where you have only to listen to the song. The way in whichPaloma offers it's perfect. By the provision of tools to support Chior, beautiful voice of Paloma, everything is just incredible.
8.Stargazer 10/10 - Another great reason for this album. Second Best, "New York". The melody is great and phosphors. Paloma tells a beautiful story of two lovers Star Crossed slow this melody. You will notice that her voice becomes stronger as the album continues. Their roots are set in the '50s and the atmosphere 60 years. But I have a 80's R & B vibethis song. Think Klymaxx "I Miss You".
9.My legs are weak, such as 9 / 10 - I must, I have a particular tune Winehouse "Back to Black" and "Love Is A Losing Game" from the beginning of this state of mind. But that pales when unfolding the melody. This is another album highlight. Paloma singing here is strong. The song is based then disappears altogether. The faint sound of a trumpet, at the end of the route, made this song for me. Sent Paloma is a place where very rare for an artist of his agego these days with their music. This song was a great feeling.
10.Play The 9 / 10 - Great album closer. Very cinematic. Paloma lyrically demonstrates once again that she very competently on their own this tune.
All in all, this album is a must-have of 2010. I hope that over time they will gain steam. If you like all the other women that I mentioned in this report, then I suggest you get this album.
