Well, it's probably really so that Jenny Lewis and the rest of Rilo Kiley on "Under The Blacklight" encountered by their fans on the head, because what you hear here has nothing to do with the indie rock of the previous albums. On the contrary, much reminiscent of quotes the music so successful in the 70s - Soul, Disco, Funk and Pop in the style of Fleetwood Mac. Here one must simply admit as an objective listener that every song shines through a catchy melodies and therefore every factory in the ear sets. The opener "Silver Lining" could, for example, from the same CD of Swedish Tityo be (remember there's someone on it) - that is, a beautiful melody strikes a chorus-heavy chorus. "Close Call" does have a somewhat dark theme, but through the easy spährische Arrangement quickly developed a renewed "OHRgasmus". While the nachfolgene "The Moneymaker" latent rock comes along, "Breakin 'Up" is but such a great feel-good number, you could almost think you can hear here the summer hit of 2007. The title track recalls then for the first time to Fleetwood Mac and turns out to be successful semi-ballad. Also "Dreamworld" is a bit quieter arranged and benefits from a certain intimacy. "Dejalo" then surprised with citations of Latin American and Musk's not catchy, but gradually evolved here again a catchy tune like no other. My absolute Lieblingssnummer is clearly the soulful "15" that reminds me of songs from Amy Winehouse. Absolute catchy! "Smoke Detector" is the only song that does not convince me, but that does not matter because especially the folk-oriented "The Angels Hung Around" weighs more than on. And the closing "Give A Little Love" skillfully cited the current RnB hits from Rihanna and Co. that it is a real pleasure. Although I still do not know why Rilo Kiley music go in this CD a very different way than usual - but to me it's fun, because here is enough variety on offer and I can not imagine that the CD is so boring to me.
