Sylvia G - S.O.S - Album Review

Sylvia G - S.O.S Album Cover

Sylvia G is venturing-off on her won with this debut release - S.O.S album under her new [artist] name.

The music is radio friendly mostly pop-rock, with tinges of post-industrial, post-punk and electro-dance - with highs, lows and rolling parts that grip the listener to create the different moods and tempos in each song. 

The lyrics are a summary of Sylvia's life from the opening track - Walking To Santiago, which must have been a challenge in itself. 

Being an environmentalist is the basis of S.O.S, which refers the Earth as Mother and the economic system and financial institutions as evil or The Devil - polluting the world for money and greed. 

The trick in songs is to write about love, intimacy or relationships in different ways and Let's Be Lovers is an honest look at just having one night of passion, rather than entering a committed relationship, which doesn't work for at least one party. 

Though in complete contrast I Heard You Say has the lines,"Every word you say" - "Every promise you made" - "Celebrates your mess" - while in the chorus the opening lines, "I heard you say, I was your love" - "The only one forever love."

Milow The Girl - Video Interview

Women seeking Bad Boys is the basis of Electrified, with the theme being rather cleverly written as the Bad Boy bringing trouble-back within the home. 

Being independent and self-sufficient best describes I Walk Alone; though the next song Not This Girl is ambigous and will be interpreted by the life-experiences and viewpoints of the listener. 

Crazy Life and Monday's are electro-dance tracks - with the first track themed in secrets and hiding things, while living life to the max - and the latter wanting the week to revolve around Friday's and the Weekend just for partying!

The last song Beautiful World is another focus on the enviromental agenda, that follows on from the earlier song S.O.S.

What this album does after listening to all of the songs is it points-out that life and viewpoints can be a massive contradiction, often causing much psychological distress when people want to live a certain way; but then if you put ambition and drive into your life, you have to allow certain things not to be perfect or drop them entirely.

S.O.S is available @ Apple Music & Amazon

Milow The Girl - 32,000 Feet Above - Album Review

Milow The Girl has released 32,000 Feet Above album. 

The main core of the album's message is to persevere with things in one's life, no matter what gets in your way.

Beautiful World is the first track that will get you rockin'-out, but the song looks at the turmoil in our most unfortunate world, but it shouldn't be because we have many areas of paradise here on Earth. 

We get into a lo-fi vibe with Contradiction, that begs for you to look at yourself, however seeking affection but seeing no reflection, kind of tells us that we can easily blend into the background to be unseen and irrelevant. 

The songs that are pop-delicious are Funny Feeling, and singing about love but as a big Distraction, crazy Nights in Vegas, and seeking dreams in the electronic dance track Purple.   

These crop of songs seem more poignant and trying to gain some navigation in one's life is perfectly illustrated in Lost, and Sad & Wild. Though with Holiday is all about getting away from the confines of everyday stressful living. More strong themed songs keep continuing in Secrets, a soft ballad of strings, and piano.  

Another rock tune Blinded, though the guitars are more heavy metal in this song about the environmental destruction we are inflicting on our planet. 

The album doesn't wind-down towards the end with a loose pop-rock song Generation, concerns the aspects of more loving than living in hell in a relationship.  

Ending-off 32,000 Feet Above is the synth-heavy metal ballad What If (Losing My Mind), which delves into the tortuous and cruel relationships that exists between lovers and partners. 

There are two Remix versions, the first is Sad & Wild (Ecode), and the second being the UK Club Hit - Distraction (Allan & Loverush). 

The album is available @ iTunes & on CD @ Amazon
