This second album by German singer Rya starts very promising
with “Traveller”: some fine mysterious singing and floating
synthesizer sounds. Sadly, that is about all this album has to
offer. The rest is mostly a collection of spacy sounds, electronic
beats, poppy choruses and experimental song structures. Rya’s vocals
are very theatrical – oriental at times, so it does sound very
strange to our western ears. Her accent is pretty horrible too.
I’m sure there will be a market for this style of music, but for me,
this is pretty awful music, and I can’t listen to this for a very
long time. I’m afraid this probably goes for most of the regular
readers of this site as well. |
