Japanese Singer Arlene Hattori Creates Music That
Japanese singer Arlene Hattori creates music that nobody seems to be doing anymore. Sure, while there are many young turks battling for airspace in a full-blown New Wave revival, Hattori carves her own piece of the piece, slicing a plate of winsome girl pop that is both innocuous and mature.
Comparisons to her predecessors such as Annie Golden and Rachel Sweet are inevitable, but Hattori isn't as bubbly. Rather, this is New Wave for angst-free, grown-up spiky hairs reflecting on what once was. Guitars jangle and there are intermittent moments of synth spice. Holding it all together is the raspy prettiness of Hattori's voice.
This is a marvellous disc, one that'll definitely make my Top 10 of the year.
