Emiliana Torrini did some growing since 2004’s “Fisherman’s Woman”. Musically that is. Whereas that album was filled with mostly fragile acoustic songs like opener “Fireheads” on her latest release, you wouldn’t have found the happily bouncing reggae-influenced title track on that release. Logically, because that album wasn’t called “Me And Armini”. Or that song where she’s declaring her love with a heart that’s beating like a jungle drum. Or “Gun”, which is built around a menacing guitar riff and would fit perfectly on a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack if you ask me.
No matter which style she has her songs reeling into, Torrini always has the perfect voice to go with every single one of them. The half-Icelandic, half-Italian beauty did an awesome job on “Me And Armini” as far as I’m concerned and will no doubt get a whole lot bigger with this album. If you hurry, you’ll still be among those who can say they already listened to her captivating voice before she got huge. Not physically huge though, that would be a shame.
Score: 8.5 out of 10
