New Targets

In the booklet of their third album "Dreaming Through The Noise" Vienna Teng thanked the producers of their first two albums "for the two records That led to this one". One can know thus: Vienna Teng sees her work as an ongoing, evolving process. The new can not exist without the Old, but the direction is always clear: "forward".
Your past performance has since never left any doubt that we are dealing with an artist without blinkers, which is not interested in the least, always to knit the same stitch.
Therefore, I can the complaints, Vienna Teng's new work "aims" had fallen too pop, not quite understand. Disappointing would probably rather a rehash of past exploits have been - although experiments of course, always run the risk of going into his pants (which they do not at all here). Therefore, do not destroy the part really unusual electronic sounds on "Aims", and I'm ready to accept them as what they are: a new facet in Vienna Teng's work. Namely, a thoroughly successful!
Some sounds in fact surprisingly radio friendly ("Level Up", "Never Look Away"), another follows, however very probably proven paths, about the weightless-anthemic and very accessible "Land Sailor" (in which I then fell in love on first attempt have), the folky "Oh Mama No" or the grooving as hell "Close To Home". That Viennas music in the substance, would somehow become commercial, poppy or even shallower in songwriting, I can not confirm for the first runs. They remain in spite of experimentation herself and as always has an elaborate mix of catchy and Vertracktem. And her wonderful voice is unmistakable anyway. So should really anyone who could do with their previous albums something (of which, incidentally, I had promised none-stop from start to finish), on "Aims" will find it. And if you really so can not make friends with it, may rely on Vienna Teng's curiosity, which certainly still one or the other will bring us back quite a different album.
