| The debut album from Irish band Kaydee is
really on a hiding to nothing. With a low-ish
profile and the addition of a new singer
(following the swiftish departure of the
first one) the band cannot yet be completely
judged. It will take some time for new singer,
Tara Egan-Langley (great handle) to adjust
to the sound and there's the in-built certainty
that she will also move it in another direction.
No bad thing because "Stop! I'm Doing
It Again" suffers from a bland taste
and a certain ennui which is far from attractive.
There are plenty of ideas on offer but something
suffocates them long before they can actually
affect any changes. Standout track "Cradle"
is decked with all manner of interesting
indie-pop diversions, but fails to deliver.
Twelve tracks of similar water threading
is far from interesting and the listener
tends to lose interest long before the final
reel. Lets hope Kaydee version 2.0 has far
more to offer than this. |
