Review: Natalia Kills - Perfectionist

FLARE WRITTEN


This is my blog so I should be writing my own album review. So if you see 'FLARE WRITTEN' on the top of a review that means I wrote it. I thought of doing my first album review on Lady GaGa's Born This Way but since I cannot find any reliable review on Perfectionist, I thought I would start from this album. Remember this is my first.


So lets get to the album. First, if you aren’t familiar with Natalia Kills, she is a British singer songwriter who is signed to Interscope / Cherrytree records. Natalia got her big break after reaching the top of the unsigned charts on MySpace and later on got discovered by will.i.am who helped her get signed to Cherrytree Records. Natalia describes her sound as dark sounding pop music. Zombie, the first single from the album was released last summer and it was followed by Mirrors. Both singles helped Natalia gather a lot of buzz for her album but neither got any top 40 treatment.


When you click the play button, the first thing you will hear is the robotic 32 seconds intro that is called Perfection. I love intro on an album but this want seems a little bit pointless. But then the album opens up to the third single of the album, probably my favorite song at the moment from the album, Wonderland. I would say if any track that would get her some radio attention it will be this song which was just release on US iTunes on Tuesday and the video last week. The album then continues from Free till If I Was God. All beautifully written and produce. And in the middle of it all, you might just feel (this is probably the only problem with the album) that you are just listening to one long song with a lots of good parts. This is because I think the songs have like a cousins relations meaning that it sounds similar and by the end of the 50 minutes of listening to the album, you would just be tired. I don't why but I felt that. Maybe its just me. I don't know. But even with that I still want to press play and hear the album again and again. And one more thing. I just want to make sure it isn't just me. Do you guys listen some Selena Gomez or maybe Avril Lavigne in the track Heaven. Maybe one of the other effects of the album is imagining listening to some other artist voice too. HAHA.


I would also like to say the main thing that just wrapped this whole album together into a wonderful album is her VOICE. With that rock voice mix with the 90's glam modern techno pop self-written songs, comes out Perfectionist, a debut POP album that deserve people's ear. Lastly, I would recommend listening to this album track by track. Not in all in one listen and pay attention to Wonderland, Free, Mirrors, Broke and Heaven. Wow thats too much recommendation. Well that shows how GOOD the album is (minus the tiring affect you get after).

I cannot do the normal Overall rating thing because I cannot find any professional review on the album to put into the equation but I as in the 'Pop Flares' in the normal album review, gives it a:

So that's the review. Do you like it? Do you want me to keep doing it? Or just post reviews by professionals? Comment Below.

Artist of The Month: Natalia Kills

We have two Artist of The Month this month. First up , is the artist which actually has her debut album, Perfectionist release today. let's see what can you expect from the album.

Kills has been working on her album which consists od dark, but pop styled music since early 2009. The album will see production from Akon, Cherry Cherry Boom Boom, Jeff Bhasker, Fernando Garibay and herself. Kills spoke about the album and her film, to coincide with the album, titled "The Exhibitionist", "I wanted to describe and express myself musically and visually. To show who I am and what inspires me. I love silent movies from the 20s. I wanted my film to be in the classic film noir style and tie in my album concept of "Perfectionist".

Here's a track by track review on the album:

Track 1 - “Wonderland”
An upbeat dark-pop track full of fairy tale lyrics like “I’m not Snow White,” “I’m Not Red Riding Hood.”

Track 2 - “Free” 
A joyful sounding Jeff Bhasker produced track "reminiscent of Kate Bush.

Track 3 - “Break You Hard”
Definitely not a love song, a mid-tempo single about smashing a man to the floor like he is a vase you just wanna crash.

Track 4 - “Zombie”
About an ex boyfriend who never listened to her, even if she was the only one in the room.

Track 5 - “Love is a Suicide”
The second official single from the album, all about giving into love and knowing it can kill you if it goes wrong.

Track 6 - “Superficial”
A fun and frivolous dance track she calls her "Michael Jackson track," laced with hooks like: “all the things I like, like tattoos and motorbikes”

Track 7 - “Mirrors” (below)
The albums first single, inspired by Depeche Mode and Prince, which is all about being in control of every situation even if "I have to put my Stiletto on your neck!"

Track 8 - “Broke”
A power ballad, but Natalia says it's "not one of those Ben & Jerry ballads, it's a real ballad that makes you feel.”

Track 9 - ”Heaven”
This is bound to be the most emotional on the album, she says it was, "written after my grandfather passed away in my arms. It is all about the perfect way to go about missing someone."

Track 10 - “Not in Love”
A mid-tempo song that "teaches a girl how to convince a guy to not love her — ya'know, when you most certainly don’t love him. It's just easier that way."

Track 11 - “Nothing Last Forever”
This is another dark eltro-pop track "about exactly what you think."

Track 12 - “If I Was God”
This last one is one of Natalia's favorites, it's "about all the things I would change if I was him, plain and simple" she says.
