Search - Nina Hynes :: Creation

CREATION, the debut from Ireland's NINA HYNES, has finally found its way out into the unsuspecting world. The release firmly represents an experimental departure in music coming out of Ireland and will certainly put NINA's name in the Irish music history books as a pure innovator. The songs on CREATION cover a vast territory of sound; Starting off with the technology and dark electronica driven rhythms of "William Tell," listeners will undoubtedly identify NINA's beautiful voice as the central character to the musical landscapes they are about to travel through. What follows is a world of the ethereal and otherworldly in "He Turned The Light Out", and just when the listener thought they left earth, "Trigger" brings them back down with a thud with pulverizing sample and guitar based alternative fuzz. "This Magic Stuff," a deceptively radio friendly pop song, will taunt those who enter with lyrics of love and longing while strangely opening up the world of NINA HYNES to all those who dare. The CD has received a warm response in America and is currently getting airplay on the few U.S. radio stations it has been leaked to. Nic Harcourt @ KCRW in L.A. has been a big champion of NINA on his Morning Becomes Eclectic show, calling her music "a cross between Bjork and Massive Attack... Perfect end of the century pop," which has led to strong West coast interest and a movie soundtrack offer. Bruce Warren @ "tastemaker" radio station WXPN in Philadelphia described the release best; "It's just beautiful. This is just an incredible sound and the songs are terrific." One of NINA's songs was recently used during NBC's U.S. T.V. coverage of the 1999 French Open.
