Christina Courtin “Christina Courtin”
July 19, 2009The first thing I noticed about this well-sung singer/songwriter contraption was that it was very polished. Oh, no wonder. It’s on Nonesuch, a Warner Bros. imprint. (Did I say that right?) I suppose I should thank them, for it is unlikely she would have crossed my path otherwise. It’s a big world out there.
“Green Jay” sounded like something Catatonia would have done, high praise indeed. And so it goes throughout the album; plus singing with plus accompaniment. Nothing really stands out in a bad way, and you get a bit captivated by Courtin’s voice, which is entirely because it’s good, not because it’s distracting. I mean, people that think they like Nelly Furtado because of her voice should listen to this. She knows where her home is.
Play “Foreign Country” and the women will be all over you. She channels KT Tunstall here in terms of rhythm, and again with that voice. Put that thing away before all are smitten before thee. It’s really quite good.
“Mulberries” takes some great piano work and leaves one thinking of Tricia Concepcion. Or maybe the Mister Rogers theme song. Either way, it’s something to marvel. “One Man Down” gets everything just right and is the most memorable track. The drums are mixed a little higher, and it causes me to desire a glass of lemonade.
