Negative Positive
Title: Addictive
Review: I do not listen to this album as an example of crossover music, but rather according to its own merits, and I rate it very highly as such. To me, von Otter simply sings these songs - unfamiliar to me - as they seem to want to be sung. Also, the backup groups are terrific and the sound is superb. The only trouble I have with these songs is that some of them, especially the first, "The Day Before You Came" (which lasts more than 5 minutes), keep ringing in my head hours after I've turned the machine off. I wouldn't expect everyone to like this kind of music, but if you do, or don't mind stretching your musical tastes a bit, try it, I think you'll like it.
