Product details
Author: Natalie Merchant
Format: Enhanced
Release Date: 13-11-2001
Details: Amazon.ca Just as Natalie Merchant donned a mythical persona for her last proper solo release, 1998's Ophelia, the buttery-voiced performer enjoys another stint as a quick-change artist on her latest, Motherland. From the trilling Middle Eastern-flavour of opener "This House Is On Fire" to the evocative Latin classical guitar tones on "The Worst Thing", Merchant seems to enjoy pressing her steadfast throaty vocals into new terrain as much as she does trying on dresses and high heels. While most of Motherland resides in the down-tempo, ballad-heavy world that Ophelia did, most of the singer's diehard fans will appreciate her thoughtful phrasing and pastel soundscapes. There may not be fireworks, but the ex-10,000 Maniacs frontwoman knows her way around a sad song: "Golden Boy" excels as a wispy November poem, while Merchant wiggles into torch-singer mode on "Put The Law On You". But the record's true standout is "Tell Yourself", an almost sprightly tune with sunny acoustics that resemble the Maniacs' "Don't Talk". Merchant may not be inherently comfortable in her own skin, but she's excellent at transforming her surroundings without sacrificing her creative soul. --Kristy Martin Product Description Certified Gold by the RIAA.
