From the Album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today


I bought this album online when it was released. I've found this song, especially, to be everything I would have hoped for. A Brian Eno and David Byrne (Talking Heads) fan since 1978, I've waded through stuff like "No Pussyfooting", a Brian Eno/Robert Fripp collaboration that is three parts of an ambient/white noise migraine headache (I did like it one time but I just wasn't myself that night). I think this is good quality stuff, not their best alone/with others/together, but good quality.

Nina Persson's "Black Winged Bird" is lilting and soothing, romantic and bordering on melancholy. The relaxing flow of this song makes it inherently listenable as foreground or background music.

I particularly like the fact that the song relies on Nina's vocal talents and not on overdone electronica or instrumental overkill. The strings and other back-up instruments that complement Persson's voice are spot on.

While this song may not have the pop appeal or driving force it usually takes to gain major recognition, I've had this track on my iPod's playlist ever since it was made available at Amazon.com.

This song isn't what I'd cal mainstream country, folk, or even pop, but is an intruiging mixture of those genres. I don't really like country that well, but I LIKE this song.

Thanks for a nice track Nina and Amazon!5 stars!
