Album Name: Gorgeous Enormous
Artist: Carolyn AlRoy
Year/Label: 2005 / Wussy Records
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Carolyn AlRoy’s debut is fresh and sweet pop songs.
Opener “Do You Know what I mean” features her lovely vocals and ringing guitars. It’s a real gem.
“The Reality Song” has a neat melody and a great vocal. If pop’s done this way it’s tasteful and not the slightest bit silly.
“Waiting for the Light” is a delicate ballad,that exposes AlRoy’s vocal in a soft setting.
The cover of Beatles “Helter Skelter” is pretty amazing. AlRoy recreates the primal howl as a lounge song and it works well. So many have covered Beatles tunes but few have done it this well.
“You Belong to Me” ends the album, a standard from the fifties that is given a nice remake.
It’s a thoroughly likable and sweet album.
