Charming but not sustainable

Elly Jackson's second album already cited as their debut album violently the (good) dance pop of the 80s. Even in the song titles (Uptight Downtown the musically very much Diana Ross Upside Down owes or Tropical Chancer remember Kid Hit Album Creoles Tropical Gangster? Or Kiss And not Tell see Bryan Ferry Kiss And Tell) reflects the return.

Nevertheless, everything is produced very clean and up to date and that's songwriting perfectly fine, but one misses in the arrangements that certain something pronounced corners and edges that would give these pop songs the necessary sustainability and make them more interesting. For the current format radio Gedüdel that's perfect, but right lasting classics that you will hear in 10 years are not to be found here, although many of the songs were good earworm qualities principle.

To the sound of the LP edition is sorry to say that even here the loudness was has struck. It really turns halt now, the question of why the industry does not understand that people who explicitly set the vinyl the VA to do for a better sound and therefore the Vinyl editions just differently mastered and mixed belong. The addition of a download code (in this case, even for optional MP3 od. Flac in HD quality!) Is laudable, but sound-wise but a deterioration compared to the LP sounds.

To hope for the artist Elly Jackson remains that the solid basis on which their songs are getting future also interesting and innovative arrangements as superstructure and also a development in songwriting would wish her, as there is simply not a compositional surprise poverty which eradicate applies to actually achieve once an essential sustainability can. The talent would have the lady no doubt. Nevertheless, stay tuned worthwhile possibly, but in spite of that early 80 herufbeschwörenden, beautiful covers, to go here in my view no more than 3 stars from
