BlackieBlueBird – Grace And Gravity (Album – Aenaos Records)
Genre/Influences: Dream-Pop, Chanson.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: Third full length album by the Danish duo Heidi Lindahl ( vocals) – Nils Lassen (composition).
Content: The work moves on there where previous album “Goodbye In July” (2020) stopped. Warm and heavenly female vocals on one side and delicate, music writing on the other side. The songs have been composed by electronics, guitar, harmonica, mandolin, drums resulting in a beautiful sonic voyage with a melancholic touch on top.
+ + + : I like the album’s delicacy and dreamy sensation which is accentuated by the graceful, heavenly, female vocals. “Boy Of A 1000 Tears” is a beautiful song while I also recommend the more melancholic “Love Me Like You’ve Never Been Hurt” featuring great lyrics.
– – – : A little bit more diversity would be a true bonus; the songs remaining a bit too similar.
Conclusion: BlackieBlueBird is an atypical Dream-Pop formation which clearly has something special. This album is for sure their best exposure to date.
Best songs: “Boy Of A 1000 Tears”, “Love Me Like You’ve Never Been Hurt”, “The Love We Once Knew”, “I Can’t Stop Drinking About You”.
Rate: 8.
