Colleen - Babies

Review by Jayzeel Ann Semira

Babies, the latest album by Colleen, is a beautiful and introspective work that explores the delicate nuances of childhood and motherhood. Through a combination of ambient textures, intricate melodies, and subtle vocals, Colleen creates a sonic landscape that evokes a sense of wonder and nostalgia.

The album opens with the dreamy "Summer Water", which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its gentle guitar picking and ethereal vocals. From there, Colleen takes the listener on a journey through various moods and emotions, from the playful "Bicycle Bells" to the haunting "November".

What makes Babies such a compelling work is the way Colleen blends different sounds and influences into a cohesive whole. The use of acoustic instruments like guitar and cello gives the album a natural, organic feel, while the electronic elements add a modern edge. At times, the music can be sparse and minimalist, allowing the listener to focus on the subtle details and textures.

Colleen is French multi-instrumentalist Cecile Schott, who uses her voice and the treble viola da gamba (a baroque instrument with gut strings), to weave intricate stories about the human mind and heart. Schott first noticed the viola da gamba in the film Tous les matins du monde when she was 15 years old. The instrument, which has been said to be the musical instrument that most resembles the sound of the human voice, heavily resonated with her. However, rather than bowing the instrument in a traditional manner, and heavily influenced by African music from different countries, genres, and eras, Schott tunes the viola da gamba like a guitar and plucks it, opening up a new world of sound that she explores in great depth on Captain of None, an addictive, unconventional pop album.

this vid and that music are giving me flashbacks from my Acid days. Lovin' it ;-)
Thanks for you comment! Yes - Colleen's music can , somehow, be comforting and unsettling at the same time. Glad you like the video.
Thanks for the comments, jonchiwilson!
I see from your channel that you're a big Cocteaus fan. I love them too, and miss them - but what a great legacy! Thanks again.
one of the most terrifying songs i’ve ever heard
