Release Notes:
Izzie Voodoo is obviously something of a DIY music machine;
multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist, multi-this,
multi-that!! Yes, Izzie Voodoo does it all herself and she
does a bloody good job; 'The Push', turn it up loud folks, is
an exhilarating and electrifying outing from this visionary
digital experimentalist.
'The Push' is Izzie Voodoo's debut album and she certainly
goes all out, no holds barred etc. 'The Push' is dark
electronica - pulsatingly and hypnotically rhythmic, heavy and
earthy, scintillatingly organic yet totally digital - it works
and certainly has teeth. This bugger bites deep and bites hard
- and once bitten, you're hooked and under Voodoo's spell.
Voodoo's individualistically breathy and sexy vocal style and
polished delivery are absolutely suited to her slickly
delivered rock electronica; something approaching Kate Bush
meets Hawkwind is the end result and what a result!! Now, this
may not be for everyone but, I bet many will be surprised with
how much they are drawn in to its dark-side - it's quite
contagious in a spell-like kinda way. Izzie Voodoo definitely
knows how to hold your attention and even after nearly fifty
minutes I still felt the need to press 'PLAY' again -
intoxicating and morish, 'The Push' had me hooked after just
one blast through!
'The Push' is clever for not trying to be too clever - if you
get my meaning!! Voodoo takes her music to places that are not
too self-indulgent - she could so easily have made 'The Push'
too Voodoo-ish and it wouldn't have worked but, she's managed
to get a really nice blend of normality in with the abnormal!
Voodoo keeps it all accessible and believable to even the most
anti-electro heads out there. And, Voodoo has even managed to
keep her electronic dirges just on the right side of
commercially acceptable; they have an inherent pop sensibility
about them and several would work well if released as singles.
Yes, Izzie Voodoo is one shrewd operator!!
'The Push' by Izzie Voodoo could so easily have failed,
totally and utterly. But, Izzie Voodoo's canny way has come up
trumps; 'The Push' works on so many levels and is a really
enjoyable modernistic work of a very high standard. 'The Push'
certainly kept me entertained and smiling from start to finish
- I think Izzie Voodoo has got it absolutely spot-on and 'The
Push' is sufficiently open to all-comers to make it a
potential gold mine. Izzie Voodoo is clearly a gifted musician
and her experimental bent totally suits this electronically
biased genre - and, electronic music aint gonna go away any
time soon so I can see nothing but success for Izzie Voodoo
and her darkly earthy digital musical world. 'The Push' by
Izzie Voodoo is a crackin' album of the times - it's well
conceived and superbly performed and I hope Izzie Voodoo get
the plaudits she deserves. Great stuff!!
