planningtorock "W"


They are either planning to rock the W or an ambitious audition for a showcase at Shea’s ready for rollcall; it’s not Broadway, but it is thrillingly theatrical.
I don’t know if I am hearing things, but as I enter the ‘”Doorway,”in time for that callback,  I swear I hear Robert Smith in this heavily horny rhythm; with sparse flourishes of the electronic orchestra. Maybe it’s my ears, is there a cure?  Cue the strings , and the lights, we need those too. No, just one spotlight. Gosh, the horns and the sax? Perfect! What do you mean she is NOT “The One” for this part? Do you not feel the weight of emotion here as the last minute begins with the horns and some slight echo? What about her vocal delivery? “I’m not buying it.”                                You like Cher, don’t you? Well, then you still may have chance in liking her slightly psychedelic distortion and heavy floydian experiment in this musical “Manifesto.” SO? “Well..she really did sound kinda like Cher in this one. "Was she ever in a production?” She was in Moonstruck, which for some odd reason immediately came to mind, and I have not even seen the movie! Still not convinced? “Hey? What happened to the lights? I will fire you!” I don’t even work for you, but I don’t hear anything “Going Wrong” here. “Quit playing around! I need to find out who took the knife from my back.” To be coy, I would ask “isn’t that a good thing?”                                                    All kidding aside, let’s get back to the music, but it’s not like anybody is going to read this and think “This review is amazing” and then immediately listen to this record with pure excitement. If you want a review that is simultaneously interesting (I attempt to) and (unintentionally) irreverent, then “I Am Your Man” for the job; if you are still here, then I must be doing something right. The slow reverb funk that is boiled by the horns and vocals of Rostron is what keeps the “The Breaks” on the sunny synths from tearing us away from the morose mood. “Ugh, I need to listen to some Glee, or how about Wicked? I’m in a crappy mood” But…“I love the show, ok? Regardless if it is a theatre production. Speaking of theatre and TV, Smash is good too.” Instead, I would suggest you hear her next performance which delves into the other dynamic: full of energy and far from depressing; a key track to listen to when “Living It Out.”                                              “Black Thumber” is an intense instrumental that could easily score a film that would not fit the mainstream, but would tell a universal tale in a unique way. “Well, I have been thinking, and “Janine,” I find your androgynous delivery a tremendous plus…your diversity is pretty… consistent? I’m not sure how many seats you would fill, but I am sure this would be a show they may not forget!” I cannot help but ask why is the feeling tainted and where did our love go? She had prepared a record that could be performed as an extremely long aside; ok, that is an exaggeration, but she seems to not be interested in a showcase. “You spent all this time trying to persuade me, and now she has lost interest? Just where has it gone?” Listen to track “9” and you will have your answer. “Killing animals?!” This client does not want to work with a myopic individual anyways, that song was not perfect, but it was a pretty “Jam” good time.
