Ok so this is a new one for me a Finish artist. ALMA is 24 years old and this is her debut album. The album is interesting to me. I can't really decide how I feel about it. I like some of the songs quite a bit, but overall the album has an odd depressing feel to it. I worry for ALMA that her life doesn't sound too happy based on the lyrics to these songs. Too much alcohol, too many people trying to take advantage of her, and she sees all of this and still chooses to go toward the negative.
The best song on the album is the song "Worst Behavior." It incorporates all of these issues in one song. Here is an idea of what I'm talking about from the lyrics.
They don't know my worth
Another year wasted on stupid jerks
I rip off my shirt
I am done, I'm sick, of hearing it
I am done, fed up, ain't having it
Another year wasted on endless work
They don't know my worth
Around and around and around and around
Pour me another round
'Round and around and around and around
Keep 'em coming till I hit the ground
You better stay home tonight
'Cause I'm on my worst behavior
You better stay home tonight
'Cause I'm on my worst behavior
She on her worst
If you wanna go, then go hard
This is not a night for weak hearts
If you wanna go then go hard
Now take this depressing idea of a song and put it together with a really catchy tune and you've got a good idea of what this album is all about. If you want to remember how bad you're life can feel when you are 24 years old, then this is a good one for you. If you're 24 and you want to revel in all the negative around your life then this is a good one for you.
Best of luck to ALMA, but this feels too much like stumbling into one of my old journals in the backyard shed.
