Canzoni da isolamento

Song From Isolation - A. A. Williams (2021)

Vi risparmio opinioni e riflessioni sui dischi di cover, e vado al nocciolo. Se conoscete già A.A. Williams sapete di cosa è capace, se non la conoscete magari prima ascoltatevi il suo album di debutto Forever Blue. Come molti, musicisti e no, anche lei ha sofferto l'isolamento, il lockdown, e buon per noi, ne è uscito questo disco di cover. Ve le elenco: Lovesong (The Cure), Where Is My Mind? (Pixies), If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot), Creep (Radiohead), Nights in White Satin (The Moody Blues), Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) (Deftones), Every Day is Exactly the Same (Nine Inch Nails), Into My Arms (Nick Cave), Porcelina of the Vast Oceans (Smashing Pumpkins). Ottime scelte, anche a livello di liriche (più o meno legate al confinamento), ovviamente tutte belle canzoni anche se non tutte prevedibili, l'interpretazione di Williams è lodevole, un disco che serve a mantenere alta l'attenzione su un'artista che sappiamo già di dover tenere d'occhio.

I spare you opinions and reflections on cover discs, and I go to the core. If you already know A.A. Williams you know what she is capable of, if you don't know her maybe before you have to listen to her debut album Forever Blue. Like many, musicians and not, she too suffered from isolation, lockdown, and good for us, this cover album came out. I'll list them: Lovesong (The Cure), Where Is My Mind? (Pixies), If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot), Creep (Radiohead), Nights in White Satin (The Moody Blues), Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) (Deftones), Every Day is Exactly the Same (Nine Inch Nails), Into My Arms (Nick Cave), Porcelina of the Vast Oceans (Smashing Pumpkins). Excellent choices, even at the level of lyrics (more or less related to confinement), obviously all beautiful songs even if not all predictable, Williams' interpretation is commendable, a record that serves to keep the attention high on an artist who we already know we need to keep an eye on.
