My tracklist :D :
** Track 1 : A quite pleasant keyboard intro followed by a unsurprising voice which is not original. Not finding anything really noticeable here, it's not a bad song but I wouldn't say it's amazing either.
*** Track 2 : A slightly more enjoyable song. The voice is a bit more unusual which makes the song more interesting. It makes me feel like hanging in the streets of an American suburb area similar to those Juno, in autumn.
*** Track 3 : This very soft intro is "delicious". What follows reminds me of a typical Keane song, except from the voice of course. It's quite pleasant but it lacks of something more in to order to be a noticeable song.
****** Track 4 : AWESOME, Bat For Lashes! One of my new loved band since I saw them live in Paris at the Parc des Princes. The whole song conveys a bewitching energy, the voice - even if it sounds highly inspired by Bjork - is simply delicious. I kinda feel like I wanna be taken away in the wind of this musical whirl. An excellent choice which I find particularly moving.
** Track 5 : A quite alienating intro according to me, too many bells, I feel like I'm receiving many things straight in the face. Too strange, "disconcerting"
****** Track 6 : Quick and bewitching, and such a high pitch voice. This song is a complete happiness which makes you travel in a parallel world. Some will find it a bit too repetitive but I believe it's really energetic. A loved track, I adore it!
**** Track 7 : A way lower voice, more catchy, reminds me of a kind of Linkin Park song - a band I appreciate, btw. Such a voice paired with such an orchestration makes it quite surprising but I ended up liking the track. Quite cool!
*** Track 8 : I don't really like the voice in this song even if I think the instrumentation is pleasant. It makes me think about a road trip. Not really my fav of the mixtape but I definitely adored the violin passages.
**** Track 9 : Sufjan Stevens! A magical and catchy fanfare, a lovely voice, it's fresh, it's beautiful, I like it a lot!
****** Track 10 : AHHH, that's excellent! The airy guitar and this singer (let's not forget the background voices), WONDERFUL! I've not been able to stop listening to this song again and again and again since I've received my mixtape. I didn't know that band at all before, and well, I still don't know it! What a discovery, probably one of my next fav bands.
** Track 11 : A bit like the Track 9 although it's not very catchy. I didn't really like this one, sorry.
****** Track 12 : This song is a must-hear one, the guitar intro is awesome, the voice is perfect. I've had the song in my head since the first time I listened to the mixtape and I can't deny I've already shared it with some of my friends. Once again, I'll remember this one, it's awesome.
*** Track 13 : A banjo-ish intro, I guess it's one again some Sujfan Stevens. It's an interesting track but it might be too quick and strangely ''cut'' for me. The banjo paired with the guitar is very original though.
****** Track 14 : This is just a BLAST. I'm a huge fan of this song, it's powerful and catchy. The discrete xylophone notes are magical, they bring something fresh and delicate to the song which is quite ''heavy'' (I don't mean it in a bad way) overall.
All in all, this mixtape was a wonderful surprise with lotsa new stuff for me : I especially loved tracks 10 and 12. I enjoyed listening other songs even though i'm quite picky, I'm sorry about that! Thanks a lot for making me discover new things, congrats for the outro, that title was really perfect as an end.
Last but not least, I'm sorry I called ''kaka'' the person who translated my review :D Thank you kaka! My dear piece of black chocolate who loves Miller! :D JTM!
