CD ReviewsLike a haunted house. Nse Ette | Lagos, Nigeria | 08/03/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "Elaborately produced by William Orbit, UK songstress Katie Melua's fourth album "The house" isn't the glitchy electronic dance album one might expect. Lead-off single "The flood" starts off a gentle ballad kicking into high gear with soft Dance beats half way in, and "Plague of love" is upbeat and groovy.
Everything else is lush piano Pop much like the Melua of old. The acoustic "I'd love to kill you" (letting her crystal clear vocals soar), the waltzy vaudeville "A moment of madness", the sombre "No fear of heights" ("When you give me love, I have no fear of heights"), the beautiful old world-sounding ballad "The one I love is gone", the snarling Bluesy "God on the drums, devil on the bass", and the creepy "Twisted". Highlight has got to be the title track. A soft guitar ballad with ghostly harmonies, weird flourishes, swelling strings and cryptic lyrics about some house, with Melua's vocals starting all hushed and sweeping to skyscraping heights. Absolutely stunning!" |
