| 37 of 38 people found the following review helpful  Bjork + Evanescence + a little something different = Kerli, By Andsoitis "gamer girl" (United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Love Is Dead (Audio CD) This is such a brilliant album. While similarities can be drawn between her and Bjork just because she is the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of music that is made to make you feel every single note of the song through emotion, Kerli really is in a league all her own. Her tracks fluctuate through so many different genres of music, sometime all in the same song.There are tracks like Creepshow were it almost sounds like she is rapping for a while...but then it clicks over to a sort of creepy gothic child singing in the background...then back to a catchy hook. Then there are tracks like Bulletproof that are more typical goth punk, but her voice makes it different, almost tranquil. Normally this would be a hot mess, but it's all so deliberate, it's refreshing and even relaxing despite itself. I am hoping her record company will do a better job of promoting it than they have thus far, because she definitely has the potential to be the next Bjork or...

However, the album is anything but the emo title it is given. While a better track to open the album could have been selected, the title track is a big rock ballad with an outro that keeps building and building the energy, then comes to a crashing end, crediting Kerli with the ability to make a great rock song. The album's best track and main single, "Walking On Air", is pop perfection in every way; complete with a 'creepy' [as she says so many times] hook and very well-written lyrics. Other standouts include "The Creationist", which is something of a rock version of Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape" in the chorus; the Megan McCauley-esque hevy rocker ballad "Bullet Proof" [which shows Kerli at her most vulnerable]; and the club-rock inspired dance track "Strange Boy". The latter track, however, is the only point on the entire record where Kerli seems...

To say that Kerli is the best new artist of the year would be a gross understatement - I haven't been this excited about a new singer since the 90's. The title track LOVE IS DEAD is an instant classic, but BULLETPROOF and CREEPSHOW are just as great! |
