Moon Pix - Cat Power

You Are Free - Cat Power

melancholy, and yet angsty sound. All about the demands of performing in front of a crowd and feeling resentful towards the expectations, this is something that anyone who has seen Cat Power live will probably relate to in her own performances. She sometimes performs perfectly and people rave about her, other times she raves on stage, doesn t finish songs, and generally disappoints the audience. It s definitely hit and miss. He War is a more rocky song, with electric guitar and Cat Power singing her own back up vocals. Her voice is really like honey - so silky and soulful but with a hint of something rougher in there that makes it interesting. You re never going to ...

Myra Lee - Cat Power

Enough, slowly builds in volume and you feel like you could easily be in some subterranean venue, listening to some late night rock and roll. Because just who is Cat Power and what is her music? Only within the last few weeks have I discovered Cat Power and I now have three of her albums. All good. Myra Lee is my favourite. It’s raw. But it’s somehow sophisticated at the same time. And personal. And potent. Cat Power’s music is a blend of rock and roll, blues, rock, country (the gritty kind); yet is somehow Cat Power. Listening to her other work, you immediately recognise that Myra Lee, and Cat Power’s sound, is entirely her own. Witness: she barely seems to sing. Her ...

The Greatest - Cat Power

nothing less than a complete shambles. Yet here we are, you reading this review and me stating now, for the record, that "The Greatest" is truly the best album Cat Power has ever released. It s a touching, powerful look into her psyche, and is as redemptive and confessional as anything Amy has released, but with a frailty that puts her in another musical league. From the powerhouse ballads to the quiet, lyrical twists she s well-known for, all that makes Cat Power the unique musical entity that she is can be found on "The Greatest", along with several new musical strengths. The songs here have a generally sparse feel, even though backing is provided ...
