Review by Jena
Los Angeles by Jose Gonzalez Gonzalez is a stunning album that showcases the Swedish-Argentine singer-songwriter's exceptional musical talent. The album, released in 2006, features 11 tracks that are a perfect blend of acoustic guitar, percussion, and Gonzalez's soulful voice.
The album starts with the hauntingly beautiful track "Slow Moves," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Gonzalez's unique style of fingerpicking and percussion is evident in tracks like "Remain" and "Hints," which are both soothing and melancholic at the same time.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Heartbeats," a cover of the original track by The Knife. Gonzalez's version of the song is stripped down to just his voice and guitar, giving it a raw and emotional feel.
The title track "Los Angeles" is another gem on the album, with its dreamy melody and hypnotic rhythm. The track "Lovestain" is also worth a special mention for its catchy chorus and upbeat tempo.
