What were Cocorosia not before-sensation on the market for New Esoterics, a beautiful bathtub story, a glamfolk idea, born out of the fantasies of two unequal sisters? An art anarchy that defined itself from album to album, from appearance to appear in dialogue? A fresh cell for dance theater feuilleton and performance jeckness? Of course: a total work of art.
If you try to hide this story for a moment over 15 years and six albums, Put The Shine On almost as a first work: a contemporary update in terms of electro-pop cluticism, which takes hip-hop narratives and nostalgic sound colors from piano, blower and electric guitars. Not far from what young R’n’B and pop artists produce in these months and carry them into the mainstream.
Cocorosia now run in the train of time because they are preceded by a certain extent. If you now consult the Cocorosia history, this song collection is somewhere in the midfield of its overall figure as art figures, it is the personae of Sierra and Bianca who use the song with chanson melodies and operetta-like singing fung and yet rather calculable sounds from the global electronic tricks.
Yes, you wrote a few nice songs again in this Wust of squats, spoilers and witness (“Mercy”, “Hell’s Gate”, “High Road”). And, no: Unfortunately, “Burning Down the House” is not a Sierra-and-Bianca cover of the Talking Heads classic.
