2 x AIMEE MANN
Taking a look at a couple of tracks off the upcoming album entitled // Mental Illness // from American pop rock singing songwriter & musician
:: AIMEE MANN ::
co-founder of the 80's new wave band // 'Til Tuesday //. She went solo in 1993, when she released her first solo album // Whatever //, the first step on a soon-to-be series of 9. With a tendency towards musical melancholia by way of a creative direction, fans won't be surprised by the title, or the exploration of mental health issues, as we sample the track // Goose Snow Cone //, that deals with anxiety, loss, shock, grief, & relief. Everything with a beginning has, by life's nature, an ending, but today it's a happy one, as the soft pop lyrics remain easy listening all the way through. One could almost say that her steady voice remains a comforting rock in a sea of chaos. In a change of scenery and tempo, the indie folk track // Patient Zero // contains lyrical observations that become crucial to the understanding of this musical uncovery. It reminds me of the notion that spiritual enlightenment and mental illness bear similar traits, & also of a guy I met in a village supermarket, talking to an invisible person all about me, & getting a lot of it right. Do I digress? I'm not sure. The title throws you into that place, and it will either attract or repel listeners. With a release date of March 31st, you can order an exclusive pre-sale bundle here:
