| Alice Tessereaux - Nothing Lasts Forever |
Release Date: Out Now
Here's a new EP from Anglo-Franco
singer-songwriter Alice Tessereaux coming straight out of that there London
town. The 'Nothing Lasts Forever' EP opens with the title track and an eery,
Muse-esque piano line and Tessereaux's breathy vocal giving an undeniably
French feel to proceedings. As the song progresses, the vocals become
increasingly Kate Bush influenced and the haunting piano line tries to keep up
in the distance until supported by some lovely syncopated drums and string
sweeps. 'Cried Eyes' is up next and is a more muted affair that is all about
the break up and wears it's heart on its sleeve although Tessereaux's voice
stays consistently in the upper end of the register which gets a little grating
after a while. The final track on the EP is 'Million On Me', a light, poppy
number tinged with sadness but again the insistence of Tessereaux to stay
almost exclusively at the top end of the register has me tuning out of the song
before it's finished. Tessereaux has a talent, that's undeniable, but to make
the leap up to the next level I'd like to hear her step out of her comfort zone
and stretch that voice with a little more power behind it.
