Arden KaywinQuarter Life CrisisContributor: Joel EdelmanMy goodness, Arden Kaywin is tall and pretty. And she can sing. I'd say that I don't understand how she could have a Quarter Life Crisis, but I do understand. This is how our generation handles angst. We didn't grow up with LiveJournals to confess in, after all. If the world worked the way that I wanted it to, and I could dedicate my life to serving someone that deserved it, I'd do that for Kaywin. I will attempt to leave it at that, because I prefer to creep out female artists in more-subtle ways. "On the Edge" is one of many tracks that makes the average listener think of Vanessa Carlton. It might be an octave higher in the singing department, but it has the same radio appeal that people ought to love. Many of the tracks feature piano, which is simple enough to do its job without distracting anybody. The production work is extremely polished, but it doesn't sound fake at all. This album, as is, can be so many things to so many people. I find it hard to believe that it is self-released because it is so professionally done. "Typical" is a typical song on the album. It sounds like a second single to me. It starts a bit quieter, but if you're used to her normally overpowering songs, then this works well, and after 30 seconds, the tempo picks up a bit, and there we are. If Kaywin ever tours the San Francisco Bay Area, I will take her out to a romantic dinner. I'll have to search on the Internet to determine how to do this, but if I were ever to take anyone out on a romantic dinner, it would have to be with her. I'd even spring for the second-least-expensive bottle of wine. You can contact the author at: jughead@agouti.com 947 |
