: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Alejandra Ribera's new album, This Island, sounds distinctly :,
: different from her last two releases. She's still got that :
:' torchy-jazzy-folk vibe, and her liquid and expressive voice is ':
,: still utterly unique, but the rhythmic ebb and flow of her :,
: songwriting is turned up a notch, taking her into territory :
:' that, while not quite pop, is certainly catchy. ':
,: :,
: The album starts off slowly, with the pensive, heartbeat rhythm :
:' of "Russian Plates on Michigan Avenue" and continues in a ':
,: crescendo of speed and urgency. Later on the album, songs like :,
: "Carry Me" and "Led Me to You" feature subtle, hipûshaking beats :
:' and full arrangements, with a bit of brass in the background. ':
,: :,
: It all leads up to the intense, bilingual release of "Will Not :
:' Drown," before the songs slow down again for a denouement of ':
,: ballads, including the stunning "Undeclared War." On that song, :,
: she sings in an almost conversational exchange between French :
:' and English, winding and rhyming the two languages together in ':
,: a way that anyone with a bilingual family will find familiar. :,
: :
:' While Ribera's earlier work seemed written for people to listen ':
,: to, This Island is going to make the audience move. :,
