Meri Everitt - Angular Velocity
Review by Ellen
After listening to the 4 track demo by Meri Everitt, "Angular Velocity,"
I
have found it tricky to construct a decent review. Having tried to warm
to
the style of her music, I personally have had little success.
The first song starts off well and seems promising; the simple guitar
strumming and drum beat imply it could be a catchy song. However it
does set
to disappoint after it fails to really take off. The vocals are
forceless
sounding and there is nothing very new or imaginative emerging in her
voice,
which unfortunately seems to leave Meri's material seeming a bit
lifeless.
Although saying this I can see how someone may find the cd appealing.
If you
enjoy guitar-driven female singer/songwriter music this may be your bag,
and
I'd recommend it to you with its gentle vocals and angsty lyrics.
If
this is not your preferred style, like myself, then I suggest looking
elsewhere as it sadly did not win me over.
I give full credit to Meri Everitt as she has talent, but unfortunately
expresses herself in what is perhaps not the best way she could. For
example,
in one of the songs there is a line from the chorus that states 'to
live in
this world, I need a record deal', which implies that she is somewhat
desperate,
suggesting she is not really doing it for the music, but more for the
joys
that come along once getting signed! I know that is not the desired
interpretation, but that is how i see it.
