Nina Belief - Vessel Of Voices

 Nina Belief - Vessel Of Voices 

Dear old scribe where are you taking us to this time? To the city of Dexter, the famous serial killer, because the album I'm telling you about somehow kills the approximate stylistic injustice in that Nina Belief, an absolute superstar, is no joke, she is not imprecise, she is quite the opposite, because of her unquestionable will and means to give all the genres she considers and plays the right place. The scenario is crazy, an encyclopaedia, a history of well-blended sounds, a path within the dictates that she respects.

A long list then of electronics with its gills, a swimming in the motions of possibility to form a circuit that compacts four decades and bodes well for the future.

Her synths are needles, finger pressures in our ears, a lysergic journey where 'plastic' music is one of the expressions, but consider also her lyrics, her voice, and you have a picture of Picasso melting to contaminate transistors eager for electric/emotional shocks.  One dances but with a swollen head, sweaty thoughts, as she dutifully beats the cages of our imprisoned daily condition. The melodies are short but intense, capable of flexing the lips in a sweet smile. It seems inevitable to think that the greatest gift this album gives us is to silence the belief that even electronics are now greasy with wear and tear: Nina revitalises everything and with dry but real tears offers us continuous magic, within the 18 musical quivers that make this work the new Mecca of synths.
