CD Reviews

New Wave delight from Kahimi

W. Davidson | Melbourne, Australia | 06/07/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Well it's not cheap, clearly, but Kahimi Karie fans are probably used to bankrupting themselves to acquire her releases. It is though a very fine record. Somewhat of a "concept" release, Kahimi covers all new wave tracks in her own unique style (if you're not familiar with her work imagine a Japanese schoolgirl whispering her vocals to a nicely produced, alternative-y backing track). On My Suitor Kahimi brings her individual perspective to songs by The Lilac Time, Weekend, Virginia Astley, The Dolly Mixture, X-Ray Spex, Holger Czukay and others. The X-Ray Specs cover (Warrior in Woolworths) is a hidden extra track.I especially love what's she's done with "The Photo Song" and "Drumbeat For Baby". A treasure, much like Ms Karie herself."

Beauuuuutiful

"Kahimi`s cover album is short, exclusively expensive but too beautiful to resist.
Bizarre, strangely out of tune...but always with a unique blend of harmonies. The title track is one of the most haunting tracks I 've heard in recent time. melt the snow is utterly sweet ....at first...then it goes places beyond. get this album now! Not a dance album...but who cares!"
