The new disc from Italy’s Elisa is mostly in English, and it would be a crime if it isn’t released in the States because it’s an electronic pop masterpiece.
Some of the songs are very simple, some are very, very textured. Often, her vocals are almost whispered. Sometimes warming, sometimes creepy, always moving.
Using every punk-pop/power pop cliché so well, ya can’t help but smile. There’s nothing here you haven’t heard, but it’s all strung together energetically.
