a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Austria’s Rosivita and her partner Klaus Karlbauer have struck up an interesting partnership on this album.
Her vocals and lyrics and prove a fascinating match for his melodies. She resembles a new version of Lene Lovich or a German PJ Harvey.
“The Devil and Me” is a dreamy chanson, Rosivita’s tender side fully exposed.
“Kill your family” is sonically abrasive and has a lot of energy. Rosivita’s mixed English and German singing is enchanting.
“Il Nano a Grado” is a little bit funky and relaxed. The vocals are smooth and lovely.
“Hidden Place” is a coolly unfurling song with a great vocal.
Rosivita is a startling new talent, and she should have no problem finding and audience with this album.
