the bird and the bee [Explicit] Reviews
The vocals really are beautiful. The harmonies are edgy, and the instrumentals are exceptionally well done. It's a unique sound, and very artistically put together. I like.
Part of what I like about it is that it's a little bit hard to describe. Beautiful soprano, dreamy vocals, witty lyrics and an ambient electronica feel. Sort of lounge music with an edge.
I'm really enjoying this CD, but wondering how one "lie[s] prostate on the ground" (Because). A bit of a Freudian slip there. I'm also wondering why the explicitness is necessary. As far as I can tell, the album gets this label because of some curse words, none of which I think add value to the songs. Oops.
I discovered the Bird and Bee at work. One morning I heard this mind blowing song mixing exotic, haunting music with kooky exceptional lyrics. The Bird and Bee combine Pop, Rock, Techno and Jazz into most of their songs as well as quirky, unforgettable lyrics. That evening, I ordered their Cd on Amazon, and I haven't stopped listening to it since. Some of the songs released from 1966 through 1969 defined an era and shaped a generation.
Reebok International has a music mode system, one of them entitled "Metro Blend". Inara and Greg have a way of taking their tunes right to the edge without going over the line into schmaltz or boredom. You won't be sorry, I promise you.
As a musician, I haven't found tunes I would want to learn and play until. The song was "Lalala". Every song is a gem.
I own about 500 Cd's, most from 1964 to 1980. In the new millennium, I've had a difficult time relating to the music and lyrics dominating the airwaves and media. As I grew up in the 60's, I must say up front that I am spoiled rotten.
I ran into the office to see who the band was that performed the song. I recommend their album highly.
I can't say enough about their eponymous release (standout tracks: F-cking Boyfriend, La La La, My Fair Lady, Again & Again) and two recently released EPs (One Too Many Hearts & Please Clap Your Hands). The lyrics are very accessible, not too cerebral, but meaningful just the same. I'm in love with everything they put their hands on/voices to. Inara George has an effortless, luxurious and sweet voice, one of the best I've heard in years (and I'm a tough critic when it comes to women singers). Greg Kurstin is a genius composer and multi-instrumentalist, who took his love for Brazilian instrumentation and adapted it cleverly to contemporary pop with a retro twist.
