Currently listening to :
Oren Lavie - The Opposite Side of The Sea
Springing from the popularity of Her Morning Elegance's stop motion video, this album is the twisted soundtrack of your soothing aunt who often gives your cookies. You play this in the background and it would sound pleasant until you catch some of the lyrics :
Reach you hand out, someone'll take it, strip it down and leave you naked, that's what they do to strangers you see - Opposite Side of the Sea.
I like the strains of the cello and violins in this album.
Adele - 21
Adele previously stated that her album will mostly be about boys.
Some songs are akin to dragging your liver out with a rusty fork and serving it on a platinum platter whilst waiting for the pain to end.
Am still reeling over One and Only which just summed up every fool's unrequited fantasies. It's another boombox over the head kind of song.
There is a maturity to Adele's music that just sums up the human experience of longing --- it's a full album that sounds better at each listen. The full nuances and cadence of each line has a filling effect on those who wish that they are the ones holding the boomboxes and gets the girl/guy in the end.
All this without entering rom-com territory.
