- Or the quintessential "I've run out of ideas!" album: an orchestral rework of old material.
Agreed, but I would rather she do something like a rap album which I would hate, than do another samey old thing with the same sound and same production. At least that way I can save money, by not buying it. I know I'll hate it. I don't want something like LOI where you can almost feel how good she was and how good she can be, but just can't get there any more.
Sadly I am excited about the change of producer. The suggested collaboration by Kaleysuncle could be correct too, and may be a good thing. Sometimes artists can make sparks fly off one another when their own ideas are dried up and they are left with going over old rehashed themes and ideas. Sometimes a change of people and scenery can ignite that creative spark. That's why in the end I didn't like LOI. It had no creative spark, no life, just a feel of an outtakes album from an artist who had run out of ideas, and was doing it just to put some product on the market.
It would also be good to see her back as a genuine working musician, out on the road like KT Tunstall. Just with a band and no multi million 10 truckloads of accesssories which includes the contents of half of f***ing Dunsinane Wood, just to play a concert. I would love to see her go back to being a working musician, this time without being worked into the ground.
I'm an opinionated old tosser and proud of it.
- Apart from that i think that it is wonderful that she will not be working with Pierre anymore. I was discussing with a friend yesterday how Sarah always sounds so polished , clean and well in some cases dull compared to her live performances with the exceptions of Dear God and anything before FTE .
