GABRIELLA CILMI - "LESSONS TO BE LEARNED" 2008
GABRIELLA CILMI "LESSONS TO BE LEARNED" 2008 SAVE THE LIES - The debut album by the Aussie songstress kicks off with a funky Rock track with a pumping almost Disco beat. Gabriella snarls her way through the track with attitude and shows some tremendous vocal talent at such a young age. I believe she was just 17 when this was released. An awesome start. SWEET ABOUT ME - The biggest hit reaching number 6 on the UK chart. This was annoyingly compared to Amy W inehouse as I never understood the clamour for that woman, she seemed only famous for her non-musical "interests". However, this is a cool slice of Jazz, Soul and Blues. It more reminds me of the brilliant Paloma Faith because of the sheer quirkiness in the style. A great song. SANCTUARY - A smooth and silky Soul ballad. This belies Gabriella's young age as this is a very accomplieshed, emotional tinged track. EINSTEIN - A great slow tempo, typically 90s Pop ballad reminding me a little of All
