Copenhagen’s Kind of Girl specialise in bass heavy synth-pop doused in the sweet addictive vocal melodies of lead singer Sissel. “Lonely in A Modern Way” marks the debut album from a band bursting with ideas on combining rock, electro and atmospheric elements to write addictive and inspiring pop songs.
The music is electronic rock, suitable for the radio and easy to sing and sway along to. The song “If You Say” has some country elements, especially in the beginning. The album spreads a positive and happy feeling when listening to it. “Watch In Wonder” has this typical summer song feeling. “Poetry Boy” is a bit more melancholic than the rest of the album. .
“Lonely in A Modern Way” has somewhat sad and melancholic lyrics, but the sound is happy. So the album is not a melancholic dark album but more a colourful one with serious lyrics. Interesting to listen to.
| Tracklist: Slave to your charms Someone you replaced Meet You Makes It Hard To Love You Watch in wonder You Can’t Save Me If you say Need You The More Poetry Boy |
