blurb:
There's a theory that certain musical frequencies affect people emotionally. Katell Keineg
has found them. It's damn near impossible to listen to her earthy and ethereal voice without
feeling the spirit move you. The Franco-Welsh (she sings in English, but old-world Europe
oozes from her throaty croon and gracefully gangly limbs) singer/songwriter's latest effort,
the EP What's the Only Thing Worse Than the End of Time?, is a brief testament to her power
to permeate. The standouts are a chilling live version of Nick Drake's "River Man" (Keineg
is especially powerful onstage) and the celebratory "Beautiful Day," which sounds like a
chance meeting between a Sixties-pop melody line and a white girl on a Caribbean island.
What's the Only Thing seems to embody both of those worlds, suggesting that Keineg's travels
over the past five years, during which she was AWOL from the studio, helped her find a
balance between her poetic roots and pop sensibility. If What's the Only Thing is any
indication of what is to come from Keineg, prepare to be seriously hooked by her
frequencies. [rolling stone, 11.09.02]
