This is quirky.

He's a rubbish singer.

Can hold a tune but has no timbre, cadence or charisma whatsoever. oh no

Backing singer seems to think he's on Take 5.

I think it's just what we'd call chews/penny chews.

Isn't Taffy a brand of American ~~sweets~~ caandy?

Actually that album could have done with more intrusions like that.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:34 pm

This is more like it!

It is over.

It was inoffensive but lacked the variety I require. Also, I noticed she avoided going for the really big notes.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Anyway, ovr.

Good grief!

What is this violent, carnivalesque grotesquery?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:34 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Butterfield Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:35 pm

Well, it was okay. She has a nice voice and the production was crisp, if a little dated. It all became a bit samey part way through but the last track kind of helped it pick back up again. Nice that most of the songs were new - to me.

3/5

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Mar 12, 2024 7:36 pm

It was fine, but just well, a bit dull, even if it was only 32 minutes long.

Maybe, but I don't think that when Americans in general would call taffy per se.

This whole 'taffy pulling' malarky is like an ancient (200 years old) cultural cornerstone to them.
