REVIEWING CD'S -- SODA SHOP
1. There is no control of what I review, in the radio station, or in life, the latter, life, takes opening up to sometimes, like reviewing the CD's we get in the radio station, we open our shelves to whatever anyone sends, meaning we're fickle, like life, so here is REVIEWING MUSIC with Soda Shop's self titled album- released 2015 by Velvet Blue Music-
The LP spanning eight tracks starts up and demands concentration, its pop tone with drive, vocals delivered with presence though I can never catch up to hear the actual lyrics (I could hear some of the later songs pretty clearly), allows the listener to format the voyage with guitar and bass attacks sounding like melodic, and subdued, and filling and warm respectively. By the time a reggae timing fourth song-Longing- comes on, I credit the band with formulating the album to keep things from getting redundant- there is even a voice track at the beginning of the fifth song (Melancholia) that nods this to me, to try and avoid redundancy ( wink) , there is a foreign instrument filling the melody break.
Fools Paradise starts off with a heavy bass shuffle, and drives some crystal clear lyricism, combining some elements that seems to touch on a poplular theme delivered by a different song " everything must change" though this theme is contextualized with a personal moody minor, contrasted to the major chorus of the latter mentioned song. Song 7 Keep Swimming seems to respond in title and tempo to the previous song once again showing the thoughtfulness that if the listener has to deal with moody change, we, will get a pick up if we "keep on swimming" as pops the last line of the song.
And the end
Grow Up- the last song; never mind the review ends after this; this is how the album resolves it self- by taking some pressure of the top hat pedal, challenging between setting the album on fire, becoming something different , and being left just the way we were.
