ALBUM REVIEW: BODY DRAMA “OUT OF MY WAY”
Body Drama has a thematic approach to a sexy, dark-pop sound environment, centering the storytelling in its main vocal line. Out of My Way has a sensitive, low-spirited, dreamful texture that gently grows in you—an album for a quiet time that you won’t be able to forget after listening.
“Sick Crack” is nostalgic. It reminds you of sunset in an urban environment by the ocean. A sad, dreamful Lana Del Ray aesthetic with a laid-back drumbeat in the slow twirling disco light, warm and glistening. Revolving around a captivating theme, “Sick Crack” is haunting and unforgettable.
“Never Learn A Lesson” is a tender, immersive long song. In its ocean-like dreamscape, angelic whispers float into your ear. The sweet voice comes closer and tells a story about the heart and the soul. In its resounding drone, the song draws you into its own space and time.
“Heat Haze” has more movement in the arrangement of fractures with buzzing bass and low strings where the floating voice leads to a lighter, silky soundscape. Epic percussion evokes feelings you didn’t know were there—a buzz right under your nose, dancing and chasing you like a fairy.
