5.0 out of 5 stars Charmed is Charming, April 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Charmed (Audio CD)

This is a surprisingly sophisticated, well-produced first album by singer-songwriter Sarah Pinsker. This young artist draws you into her emotional world with heartfelt, poetical lyrics and melodies that are catchy and evocative.

Though Pinsker's folk roots are evident, the songs on Charmed span the spectrum from folk to rock (the tracks that include DC-based band 5th business are especially hard) without either undermining Pinsker's style or disconnecting you emotionally from the themes of her songs.

Charmed is sometimes touching, sometimes a little weird, but most of all joyful. I guarantee you'll catch yourself singing it when you least expect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Album equally as "Sweet and Strange", May 5, 2000

This review is from: Charmed (Audio CD)

This album is certainly eclectic. There are so many different sounds, all of which have pleased everyone i have played this CD for.

This album has radio-quality sound and powerful lyrics all in one. I cannot decide which is my favourite song because each time I listen, I like them all more and more. I find myself singing along in my room, in the car, and even in the library.

I can be sure of one thing though, Pinsker is making her way around campus. This album is like chocolate: you just cant get enough of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars wow!, May 13, 2000

This review is from: Charmed (Audio CD)

I stumbled across this gem at my local music store, and when I first heard it at the listening booth I fell in love with it almost instantly. Discovering such a refreshing collection of heartfelt, unpretentious folk-rock songs was like winning the lottery. I bought it without a second thought, and it has yet to leave my CD player.

Sarah Pinsker is a virtuoso lyricist and songwriter, and her eleven original tracks on "Charmed" defy traditional categorization. Although the fluid, melodic rhythms of American folk are always present, Pinsker treats her audience with infusions of everything from country to hard rock to electronica. Amazingly, it all fits together just right, and the end result is a near-perfect album that's a joy to hear from start to finish. Some tracks--among them "Baggage," "Reinventing the Wheel," "C#m," and "Dream Out Loud"--are unforgettable; you'll find yourself humming the tunes long after you've heard them last. The songs also showcase Pinsker's literary talent; her lyrics read like poetry.
