If anyone else would care to review that has a blog or podcast or other....let me know. http://www.muumuse.com/2009/11/kate-havnevik-me-ep-album-review-and-us-tour-d ates.html From MuuMuse... Kate Havnevik is releasing an exclusive EP ahead of her next studio album,You, slated for release in early 2010. The Me EP (see what she did there with the album name?) features five tracks: Show Me Love, Halo, Think Again, Disobey, and Soon. If you suddenly find yourself longing for some Frou Frou while listening to this record, theres good reason for it: Guy Sigsworth, the male half of the project, also happens to helm production of the Me EP. Show Me Love, the mini-albums opener, also happens to be the first and only upbeat ditty of the bunch. As the bright, gleeful horns and electronica flourishes fizzle the warm embers of Halo begin, mellowing out the atmosphere of the EP. Think Again floats in dreamily thereafter, complimented by an airy vocal delivery by Havnevik. I know that Im losing you, but I dont want to get over you, she coos as Sigsworths signature sitar strings (alliteration up the S!) wrap themselves around the track. Disobey is a pleasant surprise for longtime fans; a reworking of a demo originally released on Havneviks website years now spruced up with a marching trip-hop beat, the Sigsworth sitar, and a strong, cutting militant beat. How can you resist the pleasure within the risk? Cause misbehavior could be your savior, Havnevik taunts off the first lines of the track. Closing out the collection is Soon, which also happens to be closest stylistically to what weve already come to expect from Havneviks earlier work, Melankton: Namely soft, detached vocals that float atop bubbly waves of electronica. The Me EP is a stunning piece of work, bringing together the best of Havneviks dream-pop vocals with Sigworths penchant for organic, layered melodica. If this mini-album is anything like what well be hearing next year, prepare to read a lot more about Kate in the coming months. To purchase the exclusive Me EP (which is only available through her site or at her live shows), please visit Kates website. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V14 #310 ***************************
