MP3: Sophie Zelmani - Ready
I don't expect any surprises from Sophie Zelmani anymore; she's settled into a comfortable groove at this point in her career, regularly releasing solid, yet unassuming albums. Her hushed delivery and minimalist, spacious arrangements suit her well though, so expect no complaints from me. Likewise, her delicacy is a pleasant contrast to the usual bombast I subject myself to. Unfortunately, however, there's no way for me to hear her again like I heard her the first time, so I'm less inclined to rant and rave, but I do look forward to each new release and as for her latest "I'm the rain", let me say this: long-time fans will be pleased, new listeners should be intrigued, the unconvinced will likely remain so. That's as good as I had hoped. More of the same is fine by me.
