Day 12: Trois Heures Vingt by Celine Dion // 9

-
genre: soft rock
Surprise, surprise, Celine Dion can do so much more than she already seems to. This is such a beautiful song. I almost have no words (also because I'm pretty busy with school at the moment). The movement of chords as well as the instrumentation (especially the guitar) around the song is so emotional, conveying feelings of hope, peace of mind, melancholy, and longing-a mixed bag. Although I have no idea what she's saying (who knew she could sing in French!), that's what I'm interpreting. In fact, the language only adds to the charm and color of song. I would recommend giving a listen. I'm a sucker for these types of songs.

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10

Day 309: White Gloves by Khruangbin // 5

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10
