This is How I Found You (CD)
This Is How I found You, the new album by New York chanteuse Miwa Gemini, takes on the darkest affairs of the heart with a saccharine smile, haunting vocals and a bag full of riffs you wont hear anywhere else. A multi-instrumentalist, Miwa incorporates guitar, banjo, mandolin and piano to drive powerful songs of loss and redemption. Think Nina Simone meets Bjork, and you're getting close.

| As I was walking down the street, enjoying the mighty powerful and relaxing melody of an i-Touch on shuffle after a 12 hour work day, a silky, beautiful and uniquely charming voice climbed into my ear to take me off...to someplace romantic, somewhere throaty and more civilized and somewhere the "sun rise(s) and sun set(s)" in hazy guitar glows of orange and brilliant reds.
It is peaceful in this voice and I am remembering the time I first held hands with a familiar lover in the falling summer darkness. I am listening to the song "Picnic."
This album is full of genuine surprises. Miwa Gemini's influences seem to range from Country (Patsy Cline) to Alternative Rock (Ani DiFranco) into a funky rhythmic Blues (Leadbelly) and all the way down deep into Soul (think Ray Charles). This is a sultry combination of finely chosen instrumentals, hauntingly beautiful vocals, two danceable ditties and a wide range of modern, classically fine and universally human moments.
As a whole, the album tells a romantic and Twin Peaks-ish tale. I am looking forward to album #2 already! | |
