Strange Little Girls
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
I'm listening for the first time, and I picked out the songs that were a part of
my formative musical years- the 60's and early 70's-'Happiness is a Warm
Gun' 1968, Beatles; and 'Heart of Gold' 1971, Neil Young; so I gave it 5
stars based on the quality of those two covers.
I see one song is from Eminem, so her broad musical interests (influences
or curiosity?) from the Beatles to Eminem is beyond most listeners (for
example, Eminem is 'tiny tots' in my head, so I really can't listen to him)
who will really only be interested in (and appreciate) the songs from their
own musical era.
The production and professionalism is A+, so philosophically I found
myself asking why I hadn't heard these before on Megahit radio, and the
answer has something to do with the fundamentals of art itself- where
polish, professionalism, and glitz usually rob the performance of real
meaning and emotion, leaving the art hollow and filled with uninteresting
(for a listener)(and even repulsive) self-satisfaction in the artist, which may
have been a bit of a factor here, not sure...
In any case artists strive for complexity and perfection (a category which
this album is in), and once having achieved that (egotistical) artistic need,
the artist can get back to fundamental meaning and emotion without any
artistic insecurities. Since this album was nine years ago, I wonder where
she's gone since then...
