"Inviolate" by Emmaline Muchmore

a Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds

Emmaline Muchmore's debut CD is a charmer. A mix of jazz, techno and trip-hop and pop. There's a little Portishead ("Coming Down") here as well as a little 80s rock ("Inviolate").

My personal favorite is "Evie Slow Down" it's a story song with a great jazzy sound and haunting background vocals. This one could have been on Jill Tracy's CD, "Diabolical Streak". I love this part:

In a flash I felt my fingers on the cold of the knife
And then it jumped out and bit him like it had its own life
I know it'd help but I'll be damned if I'll cry
He knew what he was doing and so did I

Emmaline's lyrics in general are fantastic. She's a great storyteller painting vivid images in the mind. This talent combined with her strong, gutsy voice and driving beats makes this is one to watch.
