David Byrne - Grown Backwards
Review by ade nurani rachmat illahi
David Byrne's album Grown Backwards is an eclectic mix of genres that showcases his diverse musical talents. The album opens with the upbeat and funky "Glass, Concrete & Stone" and immediately sets the tone for an album that is both experimental and accessible. Byrne's signature vocals are on full display throughout the album, with his unique phrasing and delivery adding to the overall charm of the record.
The album's standout tracks include "Dialog Box," a quirky and catchy song that features a memorable chorus and a driving beat. "Au Fond du Temple Saint" is a beautiful cover of an aria from the opera The Pearl Fishers, and Byrne's interpretation adds a modern twist to the classic composition. "Tiny Apocalypse" is another standout, with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics.
One of the album's strengths is its diversity, with Byrne exploring a range of musical styles from rock to jazz to classical. It's clear that Byrne is a musical chameleon, able to adapt his style to fit any genre he chooses.
