This Is Acting Reviews

There is a passage in the interview that both priceless granted in December to Rolling Stone, the American one. He explains how to write for third parties: compulsando smartphone stores where ideas, trying to match a singer and song, sniffing the air pulling looking for popular topics. The Australian songwriter exposes the prosaic nature of his profession in the new album "This is acting", the seventh in a discography full of little twists and turns, a journey in search of an identity in constant evolution. "This is play", the title says. Both mean that it does not express itself, but in the role of others as you would an actress playing pieces he wrote for Rihanna, Adele, Beyonce, Shakira, and they refused. Waste are, literally, but a half rivals anything nowadays transmit radio networks. Lighter than the previous "1000 forms of fear", it follows the musical forms. The songwriting was a shameless appeal that here and there refer to the '80s power ballad, but sound and arrangements comply with the rules of the contemporary song.
If this is acting, Sia Furler is an excellent actress. She, a decade older than the pop star whose songs and provides suggestions, sings here and there as its customers, for the same phenomenon that has led many to think "Ah, the new Rihanna" the first time I have heard "Chandelier". And the good girl gone bad had proposed "Reaper" and "Cheap thrills" with the idea for them to finish on "Anti". The most sensational of the two, "Reaper", was composed and produced by Kanye West. It is a pop song by the candid nature, and music at the simple and imaginative vocal colorings, where Furler says in the face of Sad Reaper to come back in there, for these were many things to do. "Cheap thrills" is thin and flat. It is the song of the girl who is preparing to do havoc to the disco at any Friday night. Both voice seems rejuvenated unnaturally - ah, make up digital - while a choir of children and an oriental tune just mentioned adding another load of kitsch which he did not feel the need.
If "Footprints" is part of a group of a couple dozen songs written for the album of 2013 of Beyoncé, "Move your body" it is a Tamarra who knows Shakira a kilometer away. It is much, much better "Free Bird in September": written for the soundtrack of "Pitch perfect 2", discarded, given to Rihanna, refused, offering to Adele for "25", again rejected. It is brought home in an interpretation of passion, with shameless way and histrionic who both sing capable of rescuing even simple texts and metaphors worn. The same goes for "Alive", designed to "25", written with the English singer and songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr, to "Goon." It is the confession of a surviving his demons that celebrates itself and is built on the contrast between the verse and chorus empty aftertaste gospel. The single "One million bullets" goes beyond the concept of the album. Is not proposed it to anyone, it decided to keep for himself this song where "oh oh oh ohhh" winking at odds with the text of a love story from the end of the world.
The problem of the album is the fickle nature of the compositions and arrangements. Each piece of first choice is a jumble of clichés like "Unstoppable" and "House on Fire" sounds cheap and free of any development. It is therefore welcome "Space Between", the farewell in which both again pulls out his acting ability on the basis of a ghostly reverberations. In short, "This is acting" reveals strengths and weaknesses of Australian songwriter and in his small, dismantling the toy contemporary pop. Explains the most distracted who is behind the success of some of the biggest stars living, but does not add much to the identity of the woman he loves hide behind big blonde wigs, two-tone today. Hiding is useful, said both the show's host Ellen DeGeneres, "I can piss on the roadside with no one to follow me filmarm
