a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
A woman and a piano, sometimes that's all you need. At
least if the woman is as gifted as Reba Hasko. She
plays beautifully and sings curious but interesting
lyrics.
"Crimson" has some truly inspired piano-playing and an
intense vocal.
"The Glamouratti" is a satirical song with a lovely
melody.
"I'm For You" is a beautiful love song. Reba
Haskos delivery is soft and heart-rendingly true.
"The Magic of Stephin Merritt" is a tribute to the
Magnetic Fields maestro. Hasko gets her love for his
work across well and has penned an impressive song of
her own.
Album closer "Heavy Rescue" is a becalmed ballad with
great lyrics. Hasko radiates quiet intensity
throughout.
Its an inspired debut that is to be followed by an
album Hasko has just started recording. It's going to
be a wonderful record if this is anything to go by.
