On the side of the art ...

As the most-from people who do not know this artist (writer, composer and Belgian-Australian singer!), I leaned on this album after being petrified of happiness and seized with an attack of irresistible shivers at listening to the hit "Somebody That I use to know". A rare song, magic, exceptional, as we hear one every 10 years on the radio.
So let's be clear: Those who want to rush this album hoping to discover the same after listening to the song in question may be disappointed. "Making Mirrors" (Gotye's third album) does not compare with his hit.
Very heterogeneous (too), very creative, the album nevertheless listening pleasure, aligning compositions turn by turn pop, electro, miscellaneous (roots, tango!) Or completely experimental. Some frankly worth the trip, others are anecdotal. Over the passages, the best titles to be played back earn and end up being catchy when pesky become less interesting.
In short, "Making Mirrors" is not part of the category "must-album with nothing to throw." Further east, it is below the previous album (Drawning Like Blood), less uneven. Besides this, thanks to the engaging personality of its author, its exceptional voice (extremely large, with spikes closest to those of Roger Hodgson as Sting, without which it is wrongly compared stops), the sweetness of all (with one side relatively "easy listening") and its non-commercial bias, "Making Mirrors" still manages to rise above the mass ...

Note also the presence of the singer Kimbra on this title, which seems to have contributed much to its success. The final shudder, suggesting splendid hearts as we thought not being able to hear from Marvin Gaye, in unison with his voice and that of Gotye, belongs to it also ...
