(I'm not sure what a "wieldy" soprano is -- the opposite of an unwieldy one, perhaps??) - --Sue Emily Bezar Four Walls Bending (DemiVox) Comparisons between Emily Bezar and Kate Bush have already been made--both have wieldy, netherworldly sopranos that soar and plummet against whirling, constantly shifting avant-pop charts. Bezar, however, has finely tuned, neoclassical jazz sensibilities akin to those of Keith Jarrett. Her tunes are filled with hollow fifths and aching, arching sevenths, as well as lush, delicious chords that wash up from time to time to illuminate her ethereal yet substantive vocals. The effects of this are especially lovely on the title track and on the poignant "His Everything," which tenderly portrays a mother gazing with wonder upon her child. On this release Bezar assumes keyboard and programming duties, while musicians Morris Acevedo (guitar), Andrew Higgins (bass), and Steve Rossi (drums) navigate her intricate compositions with fluidity and grace.
