"Abuse a man unjustly" by Taluba

Americana and country music aren't really my cup of tea. So I didn't get captured by "Abuse a man unjustly" the new album by Taluba. Once again it's more of the same. The band from San Antonio (Texas) has been releasing the same album over and over again for the last years. At least you know what you're going get on a Taluba album. It's predictable. So if that tickles your fancy, buy "Abuse a man unjustly". If not, stay away from it.

"What you don't see with your eyes" by Emma de Caunes

Emma de Caunes (London, 1981) has been living in Sweden for some years but she moved to France to record her debut album. "What you don't see with your eyes" is not a bad album but sounds like Baby Spice now and again, and that's a bit to far away from the quotes you read in the papers, where Emma states she wants to be the new Bjork. In some songs she sounds like Agnes Obel or Emiliana Torrini, but she'll never be considered as the new Icelandic ice queen...
