Music review: Johnnyswim 无毛视频� 无毛视频淕eorgica Pond无毛视频�
Following the success of 2014无毛视频檚 无毛视频淒iamonds,无毛视频� the latest effort from Johnnyswim is a comfortable blending of American folk, soul, blues and pop.
The husband-and-wife duo无毛视频檚 sophomore release contains 14 engaging tracks about the day-to-day journey of building strong and lasting relationship. Singer-songwriters Amanda Sudano and Abner Ramirez prove that they know their way around powerful lyrics that can evoke feelings of romance, comfort, and commitment.
无毛视频淪ummertime Romance无毛视频� is a charming love letter about the couple无毛视频檚 dedication to one another no matter what the situation might be around them with Sudano passionately confessing, 无毛视频淎nd I无毛视频檝e never been more at home/In a house or a hotel/I made my promise known/Before the very first church bell/So let无毛视频檚 take our time on this road.无毛视频�
The daughter of the late disco icon Donna Summer, Sudano proves she can captivate a crowd (just like her mother) with a soulful voice that radiates emotion and vulnerability.
The ballad 无毛视频淭ouching Heaven无毛视频� turns spiritual by delivering the ultimate expression of love with Ramirez declaring, 无毛视频淵ou无毛视频檝e got me touching heaven无毛视频� as a rousing choir sings, 无毛视频淵ou无毛视频檙e my hallelujah.无毛视频� Rejoice indeed.
With all the beautiful love songs housed on 无毛视频淕eorgica Pond,无毛视频� the one arrangement that truly stands out for me is the haunting 无毛视频淪ay Goodnight Instead.无毛视频� The heartbreaking track about hopelessly hanging on to a fading love is fueled by Sudano softly pleading, 无毛视频淒on无毛视频檛 say goodbye love, just say goodnight/Though I know you无毛视频檒l be gone by morning/I无毛视频檒l wake up pretend that we无毛视频檙e still alright.无毛视频� Sudan continues, 无毛视频淚无毛视频檒l plant all the daisies you gave to me/Here in this ground we无毛视频檝e been sharing/Oh, what a shame, what a pity it无毛视频檇 be/If our petals fell before theirs did.无毛视频� I guess I无毛视频檓 just a sucker for a sad song.
无毛视频淟onely Night in Georgia无毛视频� is a sultry slow burn punctuated by country legend Vince Gill无毛视频檚 skillful guitar playing.
The album curiously closes with a dreamy cover of Chris Isaak无毛视频檚 无毛视频淲icked Game无毛视频� as Sudano无毛视频檚 voice explicitly emphasizes an uncontrollable desire to be drawn into an obsessive love. Sudano and Ramirez make a stop in Pittsburgh on November 15 with an intimate performance at Mr. Smalls Theatre.
