5.0 out of 5 stars so so cute!!!, October 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Life (Audio CD)

this was the first album i ever heard from the cardigans, and it remains my very favorite!! the american version of this album is.. okay. but this one is so much cuter and funner and sillier with the fun extra tracks and rearranged order. i recommend it for all cardigans fans :) k

If you are only familar with Cardigans' recent albums, this 1995 release is likely to surprise you quite a lot. There is a lot of inspiration taken from pop-music of the 1940's. Nina Persson's voice does not not have the warmth that can be heard on their two recent albums, and she sings many of these songs with a "jazzy" approach.

Unfortunately I wasn't aware that the album could also be found with 5 bonus tracks, so my version ends with "Closing Time" and a short hidden track; probably called "Life".

The music is mostly a lot of fun; some tracks with unusual 5-beat rhythms. My favourites are the catchy "Daddy's Car", which is one of the more straight pop-rock tunes, and the lullaby type song "Beautiful One".

The campy "Closing Time" with is slightly chaotic ending is also a favourite.
