Review by Amy.
Chilean born
singer/songwriter Linah Rocio's latest album deals with fighting and killing
your inner demons and the journey that you
inevitably end up taking.
Currently based in Zurich, Linah describes her album as 'a conversation
you had with yourself, where you went through something - like a war...an inner
war'.
The album
opens with 'Everything' - a track that sounds like Regina Spektor ran off to
join the Punk Cabaret and found a jazz band along the way. The instrumentation is nice, really nice and shows promise for the
rest of the album.
The jazz theme continues throughout and is a
welcome addition to Linah Rocio's sound particularly on tracks 'LA or New York'
and 'Amy Jade' which was written about the late Amy Winehouse. It's easy to imagine the latter playing in
the background as you spend a lazy Sunday morning in bed with a mug of fresh
coffee while the sun streams in through the window - very chilled indeed. 'Elisabeth' is a quiet haunting affair with Linah whispering 'I can feel your
breath', it'd be hard not feel the hairs on the your arms stick up during this
song. Amongst the jazz tinged tracks
there are a couple of straight-up pop
songs, 'Kill the Monsters' lifts the
mood part way through the album while 'Do the Drug' ends the album on a
surprising high note.
Overall this
is a solid album , however, it doesn't seem to offer anything new which is a
shame.
