Cyan Blue

Charlotte Day Wilson

A soft, nice, and uninteresting listen.

I've always had this intrusive thought that Charlotte Day Wilson's voice is what opium would sound like if it could talk.

Definitely dragged at parts and felt a bit one dimensional for 80% of the record. She's trying to take you to a liminal space, but instead I fell asleep.

Displaced vocals way up the front of the mix the drums usually buried way down and the bass at times almost at the outer periphery, instead of just mooning it. Such a different mix. It gives the album an energy as well as an intimacy that you don't get in a lot of other records (maybe like Sampha sometimes?)

Anyway, SO nice.

It's very much an explicit breakup album. I think the album is too long and would have much more quality if it were shorter.
