The dystopia of The Future on Imani Coppolas eagerly awaited new solo album, The
Glass Wall, says it all about the great vision of the uber-talented independent
musician: despite a menacing undercurrent, there is beauty all around.
After two years of work, including seven months in the studio with Glass Wall co-
producer Josh Valleau, Ms. Coppola has managed in 12 tracks to perfectly encapsulate
the juxtaposition of danger and joy inherent in dealing honestly with modern-day
life, from its all-consuming technological advances to the crazy-making thrill ride
of love. Through a thought-provoking mix of cacophony and melody that runs behind Ms.
Coppolas signature brazen lyrics, there is a forceful epiphany at play that life on
earth is amazing, if youre only willing to step out from in front of your screen and
actually live it.
It seems sometimes like Im on the inside trying to get out, to touch real life, to
breathe real air, and when I can finally get outside I think holy shit! This is
amazing!
Such is Ms. Coppolas fresh hopeful perspective that warms us like the flower coming
up through the crack in the sidewalk that she sings of in The Future, that cheers us
to believe as she belts it out that theres always potential for progress.
Maybe we believe it better coming from Ms. Coppolas lips, even through the ironically
techno-modulated tone of Say Hello, because the 34-year-old Brooklyn-based singer
songwriter has navigated the music world like a cat, knowing she has nine lives and
always landing on her feet. From her debut album, Chupacabra, produced by Columbia
Records in 1997, through to the Black & White Album from Ipecac Recordings in 2007,
Ms. Coppolas genre-defying lay-it-bare lyrics invite listeners to seize life and love
in all their complicated grandeur.
The Globe and Mail called Black & White a brutally honest album thats fun to hear, an
assessment that carries through as well to Ms. Coppolas work as part of the pop duo
Little Jackie where her laugh-out-loud lyrics set to Adam Pallins programmed tracks
on albums from The Stoop release in 2008 through to the Made4TV release in 2011
attracted great interest from film and TV studios.
It is apparent in The Glass Wall, as in Ms. Coppolas many previous albums, that she
has had to walk through fire and a fair amount of brimstone in order to tell the
tales from which we benefit. Catch-22 for example, outlines a brief passionate
whirlwind with a boy that Ms. Coppola offers up wryly landed me in the psyche ward
for a week. The conundrum, of course, is whether or not one should avoid such
relationships altogether, not go down such rocky roads as the heart takes us if we
let it. But Ms. Coppola sings otherwise.
I hesitate to say the kid is best left ignoredaǪ the lyrics go. The psyche ward
proved an invaluable experience for the artist, a metaphor for her musical
aspirations.
Everyone is so themselves, she said. No one is hiding.
It is just exactly that kind of crazy that Ms. Coppolas songs compel us to be, to
break free of the rules of enslavement where blinking blackberries are our
connection, where we avoid the pain of real love.
She sings in Pain Killa of love as the most effective heala, and of how I take my
chances when the feelins right but looks wrong in Alive. It seems as if shes singing
softly under all her lyrics to stop pretending and live as you feel.
And, actually, she is. Sometimes, she says, the only place to go for refuge is music,
because its all vibrational.
The solo-created safe haven of Glass Wall will be released on bandcamp July 31st,
followed by an iTunes release Nov. 6. In a nod to the necessity of real-time
connection, Ms. Coppola has announced plans to put a band together for her next album
release. Good-bye virtual world, Imani Coppola is ready to Say Hello live.
