Title: Ick... too much.
Review: Lead singer's voice is nice, the music is actually beautiful and good... but it's just WAY too much together. By the third song, I was thoroughly irritated. The overly-unnecessary girly background singers just crammed it into the wall and I couldn't bare it anymore. Very strong and classic styles combined harshly. With some thoughtful arranging, I think they could've smoothly blended them together.I love flamenco music--especially sung by strong women's voices, and I grew up with latin music, and it's all a nice idea, but they must've been so in love with this "high concept," it just bashes you over the head without tempering it with a light little kiss. You know, like good jazz. They had to take it further than just a good concept.Sorry to say I was disappointed. I wanted to love it.
