Hey Eugene! The latest from Pink Martini
It´s been a long time since I had news from this Portland group, and I was nicely surprised when I knew that they had released a new record. This one, very similar to their previous work (Hang on Little Tomato and Sympathique), continues to have China Forbes, whose silky and melodious voice it´s a charm, as their main star. There are songs in various languages (japanese, spanish, english and even arabic), and, in general terms, the sound is very good and the songs are a nice treat to listen everywhere. Nevertheless, I think it´s time for them to start exploring some innovations in their music, to recover that fresh and clever music that I listened to when I found them, to avoid repeating themselves. My favorite picks? Mar Desconocido, Tea for Two, Taya Tan and Hey Eugene!, the one that the album is named after. As usual, please enjoy!
