So now it's finally here, the new album from Simone. The last album "Moon Blind" has me uncannily well-liked, like all albums of her, but we again saw just a huge development and which I found incredibly fascinating to beat still in the music business for so many years. Wow, a tour de force to which is by far not everyone will be able. Since due Simone and her entire team really high praise! Also the new album "Pure" again has a very high quality, which applies to both the sound, as well as the textual depth. Many people are under the misconception that fast, danceable music often means that the texts are not good and the feeling is missing. Simone shows that just is not the necessarily so. "Pure" is a very slick album with mostly faster songs, yet it has a lot of content to offer. Titles like "She broke every taboo", "I'm alone," "Only seconds" or "I never loved you (... as today) prove very impressive.
Simone's strength was always the fact that she has to tell in her music something that they do not sing about any overblown, almost unworldly things that sound nice, but have just nothing to do with reality, but through stories, which are in the midst of everyday life that everyone knows of us, perhaps even just experienced before. How wonderful it can be when music so has a real-life character, you can while listening to "I never loved (... as today) feel got you. There Simone sings about the fact that a relationship is changing over time , characterized, however, is no less beautiful. Therein lies the appeal of their music, it's about everyday to real things and not just any nice sounding, but little real trallala. Thank you Simone for such a great album!
