a Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
How to classify? This is a tough one. There's something folky, but there's also a psychedelic feel.
Especially on "Flame I Should Fear". Arielle has a nice deep soulful voice that goes from soothing to an almost growl. Then the song goes into a show tune. Yes, I said a show tune, she sings a little "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" which is from Fiddler on the Roof. But she does it in a cool way.
Twice I singled out "Cover Me". It almost has a 70s feel, yet still fresh.
"How Beautiful, You" is lovely... achingly so.
Then we do a 180 and "5pm Busk" is quite funky. Reminding one of Ani DiFranco.
All in all this is a great record that is unique and has a variety of styles without sounding schizophrenic.
