Comment: Melinda
Ligeti`s 17-track issue could be considered both a branch of jazz music and
mode of contemporary alternative pop. I mean artsy pop music, of course.
Sonically it is light-hearted and quite gravitation free due to soaring vowel
effects and singing mixing mode and contemplative string plucked chords thereby
reminding of the doo wop tradition coming out of the 60s. Furthermore, the
sentiment of bossa nova is not being far away from it. At times some keyboard
sounds are added to bring forth either a more lively touch or more deeply
thoughtful sensations within the blend. In any cases, Ligeti is adept to move
the listener`s emotions with her fairly sensual vocal turns and lurking jazz
compositions behind it. All the instruments are played by her and dedicated to
her sons. In a nutshell, it is a potent retro futurist pop album.
