Elan Express London

Elan Express London Elan is an extraordinary singer and talented native of Guadalajara. He landed a few years ago in the fertile musical landscape of Southe Califoia and quickly made a name for himself to be the first overseas success of independent artists from Latin America Latina and the first woman to start her career with an album in English written entirely by itself. The first album of 2003 Child Street, showed a remarkable range of music that was a sort of semblance of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, John Lennon, Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, Martina McBride, Cat Stevens and some other influence, yet performed in a refreshing of its originality. Elan said the voice hoarse and resonant articulation with the captivating songwriting skills that go beyond the simple verse-chorus-verse inspired divas of mode Elan was something entirely different - an author whose songs have been intensely honest works have grown and full of soul. It was not just sing songs - he had something to say, and said, without intensity. The album is full of passion, confidence, songs that have jumped on tsunami insistent dramatic provocation. His second album, London Express, goes even further in his song and performance. I read a review rightly described as "wonderful, soul, blues and rock energy," which I think is very well done. I would only add that it is by far one of the best albums I've heard all year. I am simply blown away by these two albums, which have an impact and import rare in the world of pop music. London Express has its roots in the music of the Beatles, Elan, which he described as "the only group that has really changed everything. "Elan adopted rhythms and textures and recording techniques of the British invasion of 1960 and designed its own tribute to British rock, but the stamp of his signature and poetry. This is far from pastiche songs, which is a record in itself, a collection of stories and impressions and feelings that are mixed with the fact that the rates of persuasion, children Street demanding job. Some songs are Beatlesque more openly than others, such as "The Fool's Life", a tribute and a follow-up of The Beatles' "The Fool on the Hill" with the same barbed intro or guitar solo-Harrison as in "Nobody Knows". Vocal chorus on songs like "Be Free", the first single on an album of Beatles songs like "Rain", while the chorus riff and end of 'Get Your Blue "are clearly reinterpretations of the format of" Hey Jude's "choral ending. "Nobody Knows" opens and closes with a clip from an episode of The Twilight Zone, and there are some examples of records included in the mixture reversed. London Express Lennon is more like its level of dependence the longer melody, which means that it is not trounce up and down the stairs, with the strength of a melody McCartney, but his strength from his pace through every song that has its dramatic power and attractiveness. The dynamics of London Elan Express remains a passion for the impressionist and expressionist "Robinson Crusoe", ranging from the brutally honest ( "The Devil in me", "Do not Worry") solely for the joy (the vibrant "The Big Time", the sublime and moving "Sweet Little You"). It describes the loves and losses of a franchise that has profound elegiac and disarmament, and these emotions are contained in the measures of music and colors that are attractive and interesting. Ultimately, it is the musicality of the album is the song and the song that Elan Express London to invite a record as is. Street children, moreover, was reissued in a new Silverlight package of the same style as that of the Express of London, and if you do not have the first CD that you could make a collection point is d between them correspond to a set -- an unforgettable and exciting amazing pair of discs.
