Anna Calvi kicks off this debut self-titled album with “Rider to the Sea”, a great track featuring Spanish guitars that sets the mood for the album perfectly. Anna Calvi’s voice is full of attitude and power but the lyrics on most tracks are not the strongest. The best way to describe her style is dark, sexy lounge music. It has some of the same undertones that you would get from the Nick Cave and the Badseeds album Murder Ballads. The overall musicianship is incredible with sexy guitars and deep bass driven drum beats. If you can’t already tell I was pretty blown away by Anna Calvi. This is the strongest debut album of 2011 so far. I cannot wait till Anna Calvi puts out another album.
Final Review- 95
