Title: Lushly beautiful jazzy folk -- almost too pretty, but irresistable
Review: Aside from the lyrics (sincere and simple to the point of utter inanity) I like this a lot. Some of the songs are a bit too bland, but the harmonies and instrumentation are rich and complex and Sascha has a fine,gentle, directly emotive voice. I find myself listening to this whole album much more than others I was more turned on by at first -- it has grown on me, even though I feel a bit embarrassed by its easy-listening vibe. Hold On, Hold On, the single, is a more dynamic cut (fun, kind-of-flamenco-sounding percussion and guitars) and probably the best place to start. There is also a gorgeous Thief song (The Siren's Call) on Jazzanova's Belle and Fou -- another very good album, much more mixed in terms of genre.
Is the review positive or negative?
