MP3: Sophie Zelmani - Memory loves you
I keep listening to Sophie Zelmani's new album "Memory loves you" hoping for that moment of connection, but it has yet to occur. I've loved her previous records dearly so it's doubly disappointing that I am unable to get into this one. I'm not sure what's wrong either. Her voice sounds just as beautiful and understated as always. The recording is as close to perfect as one could hope for. It must be the songs. Or perhaps the lack of progression from 2003's "Love affair" to now. I don't mean to disregard the importance of consistency, but I waited over three years for this? ("Love affair" was released in late 2003 - I can do math just fine, don't worry) While it all sounds very pleasant on the surface, there's nothing memorable about "Memory loves you", no put intended. Maybe I expected too much?
