Torrini的风格比bjork更pop一些。这类更流行些的口味或许会更容易给年轻人接受。这张专辑得到Roland Orzabal的许多帮助。“To be free”“wednesday’s child”“baby blue”都是可听性较强的歌曲,“telepathy”甚至还看到了potishead的影子,“Unemployed in Summertime”中,Torrini嗓音的优雅一览无余。。对于一个乐人来说,音乐无疑就是个性最直接的释放。
Icelandic-raised, London-based singer and songwriter Emiliana Torrini refers to her long-awaited new album Tookah (September 9, Rough Trade) as both her "graduation record" and the "journey to find my own sound." Working again with her longtime studio partner, producer and co-writer Dan Carey, Torrini, who became a mother in 2010, has downshifted a bit from the starkly etched alt-pop songs of her '08 breakout album Me and Armini -- including her European hit "Jungle Drums" -- to a more atmospheric folk-tronica sound. Acoustic guitar lines serve as delicate sonic embroidery to Tookah's deep beds of synths and bobbing plugged-in beats, an intriguing instrumental light/dark landscape that gives Torrini's lovely, jazzy-cool vocals and intricately plotted melodies plenty of breathing space. There's a reason why the album cover evokes duality in it's mirrored imagery. Even when things drift off into more arty, experimental territory -- as on the frenetic album-closing 7-minute opus "When Fever Breaks" -- Tookah exhibits a serenely spiritual, reflective quality that belies and balances the icey-hot electronics.
