Prima Donna
Okay, I'm kind of flying blind as I write this review because I just got
this album in the mail and I have yet to seek out more information on the
band. I eventually will, but, I thought I would give you a quick line or
two going on my first impression. Just something to introduce you to the
band.
The band in question is from Philidelphia and they're called Prima Donna.
The album that was sent my way was their debut release, "Not Having Fun."
Can't say that I agree with that title because I'm having a blast listening
to this release.
It doesn't quite have that "big sound," if you know what I mean. But, it's
upbeat and full of energy and I really dig it. Musical style, well, I guess
I'd say that they're modern indie rock with maybe a hint of pop thrown into
the mix. Ah, put it this way, it's all good.
There are some additional players on the album. But, the core of the band
are twin sisters Tina and Gina Cieri and vocalist Debbie Kernan. So, yes,
it's safe to say that this is an all girl band and, personally, they're a
rather good one. Seems the focus here is simply to write good songs. Put
the song first, before anything else and, regardless of what your musical
style is, you're always gonna walk away a winner.
Anyway, if you're someone who has been following my writing, you know that
when I suggest checking out a band without knowing much about 'em, they've
gotta have something special to offer. Well, pick up this CD and you'll see
what I'm talking about. Gotta love it...I know I do.
