"Extraordinary Life" by Gilli Moon

a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell

I've reviewed two of Gilli Moon's previous albums and am happy to note that this new one is good too. It's more radio-friendly and groove-oriented than the others.

The opener "My Extraordinary Life" gets us in the mood with a slinky groove and a cool vocal.

"Between the black and the white I find clarity" she sings.

The reflective "Hollywood" reminds me of an in-tune Madonna.

"Evolution" is an inspired track with a special melody and odd instrumental touches.

The soulful and yearning "Spaceship" is mystical and sophisticated.

The scope of this record is wider than anything Moon has done before and she seems to be leading an extraordinary life.
