| Jeen - Buena Vista |
First things first, this couldn't
be further from the Buena Vista Social Club if it tried. Canadian soloist Jeen
O'Brien is not a Cuban traditionalist but is, in fact, one of the most instantly
engaging alternative voices I've heard in some time. 'Buena Vista' has a
growling bass line throughout which is a great starting point but the
relentlessly energetic drums, snap-crackle-and-pop guitars and menacing backing
vocals all build a gorgeously infectious song in no time at all. Jeen herself
channels the likes of Tanya Donnelly and the Louise Post/Nina Gordon style of
Veruca Salt with near whispered verses and choruses dripping with spit and
bile. The video is worth a watch even if it doesn't quite match the seductive
danger that seeps from every pour of the song. Brilliant stuff for anyone but
considering this is a debut single that gets it two thumbs up! And an
exclamation mark apparently....
