My Review: Perry Blake - Death Of A Society Girl

 Perry Blake - Death Of A Society Girl DONE

How beautiful and useful it is to lose oneself in sweetness, to step out of the grey and blackness of these times and find a tree under which the notes that fall are angelic voices with truly captivating melodies, a soft plunge into the benevolent side of an hourglass that protects the compositions to bless the landscapes filled with love, of that poetry that passes over and protects everything. The atmospheres, the inclinations seem to lean towards the Sixties, Seventies, with a psychedelic approach devoid of exaggeration, under the banner of coloured brushstrokes as a fixative that leads to the reservoirs of sadness. Impressive is the thrill one feels thanks to compositions that have nothing to do with sadness, which, however, always seems to be ready to manifest itself: this factor alone would be enough to call this album a precious miracle!

Together with Perry we find the actor from the film so adored by the Old Scribe (Withnail & I): Paul McGann is a heart-warming stove ...  The other creative part is Graham Murphy, a fine chiseller, a creative mind who knows how to fit in perfectly with Perry. They are flowers that seek out cuddles in the compositions, all in an almost silent way, like a music box of pleasure delivered to the childlike souls of our dreams, to enter the paths of a surreal that attracts, with winking phrasing, one temptation after another to exclude phrases and poisons. We seem to escape without running, with the breath entirely in our lungs as our eyes and ears swell with emotion, in a reproductive chain that ends up establishing how immense is the apotheosis of a chaos finally frozen by the delicate feathers of these songs

One strolls between new age trails and petals of world music, with trip hop echoes only hinted at, as if dying on the tip of brushes. Throughout the album, the voice remains the thermometer, the scales, the comet that guides the listener into an emotional world map sealed with one gem after another: among the most sensual works of the last ten years, it cannot but be adopted by your listeners...
