Description:
Erika de Casier isnt searching for perfection shes just trying to show you where shes at right now. As ever,Stillproves that de Casier is a master of writing songs that speak to universal experiences of modern life, even for all their specificities and quirks. IfEssentials(2019) was filled with perfect songs about flirtation and new love, andSensational(2021) added wrinkles in the form of partners who were rude and plainly annoying,Stillsees de Casier writing about genuine heartbreak with a new clarity. For all the new heaviness that arises onStill– and the subtle political valence that comes alongside – de Casiers music remains as fun and sensual as its always been.Still confirms that there are few artists making music that so freely slips between sensitivity and irreverence, sex and sadness. Among all the success, the accolades, the acclaim, her greatest achievement may be, simply: shes still Erika de Casier. All of this is to say the album is classic de Casier, her idiosyncratic mix of luxuriant electronica and moonlit R&B drilled further into that one-of-a-kind sound here. Her songwriting is as masterful and universal as ever, and her proficiency as a producer heightened as she produces other voices (They Hate Change, Shygirl, Blood Orange) for the first time. She also invites new collaborators, working with live musicians in addition to samples.N, co-producer of Essentials and Sensational, returns here, but added to the fold are Jonathan Jull Ludvigsen, Carl Emil Johansen, Niels Kirk, Christian Rhode Lindinger, Nick Len, Kirsten Nyhus Janssen and Tobias Sachse, adding live drums, synths, guitar, bass and more.These musicians, as well as de Casiers chorus of friends who sing and rap on the record, add a jolt and crackle to her world; where those first two records felt like dispatches straight from the recesses of de Casiers brain intimate thoughts slinking through the ether at 2am Stillfeels like a conversation between friends in the backroom of a crowded bar. Those friends embolden de Casier to deliver some of her most emphatic songs ever, put on display brilliantly on Lucky, her first offering from the album out today. Tracklisting 1. Right This Way2.
