It’s a rare occasion these days that you can stumble upon a completely original sound and reach the end just as impressed as you were when you first started listening. Luckily, that very discovery just happened to me when I found the beautiful voice and music of Kerli, Love is Dead.
Love is Dead starts things off with the song by the same name, setting a dark tone for what you’d assume is an even darker album to come. Even the album cover appears so. And if it seems that the beginning of Walking On Air proves your assumptions right, it’s chorus soon turns all misconceptions on their head. And once you get to the third track, The Creationist, it finally hits how well of a job Kerli does of walking the line of dark and light. Usually within the same song, at that. Switching from seemingly sad and heavy riffs to catchy pop choruses. Don’t get me wrong, this album surpasses most pop trash that has been released in the past five years put together. And even though some music outlets label it as pop, I refuse to agree. This album is definetely in a genre all its own. And, on top of that, Kerli seems like a genuine and amazing person unlike many singers.
It’s an album that may very well change the way you think and go through life. It definitely did for me, I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone. I could list my favorite songs but I don’t have any, I love the entire thing. Go out and buy this album now.
