The EP "Naked"
is a work of eclectic & cerebral content , coupled with an uncanny melodic
ability to strike the mainstream without compromising artistic integrity
"Me Versus The
Pill" & "Suicide" are great examples of a musical artist who simultaneously
exudes a media friendliness that sparkles with production smarts , whilst
tackling complex emotional & social issues without becoming overtly loquacious
'Home" is an
introspective tale that speaks of alienation , loneliness & longing within
the world of the human heart ; Whereas the song "The Day I Disappeared"
& "OK" reach out with resolve , in the confounding quagmire of love ,
desire & relationships In the "Here
On The Edge" project , the music is a radiating work of picturesque &
adroit songwriting skill & Vocal nuance. One cannot avoid the comparison
to Tori Amos in Marci Geller's music , but the former is more oblique
& obtuse whilst the latter is a profound & joyous celebration of the soul
, with bite...mind you "I'm So Angry"
is a fine tune with a mood that traverses from wistful to vengeful ; Segue
to "Here On The Edge" & one witnesses a diverse tangent of sensitive &
effulgent composition in the shadow of Carol King Marci Geller
has an uncommon knack of straddling both the mainstream media & artistic
side of musical composition & performance. She is adept to the point of
bewilderment ; Yet willingly open & vulnerable enough to empathically
share her inner journey with us "We Carry On"
is an Acoustic Piano & Vox piece complimented with a counterpoint Viola
motif. A showcase of songwriting prowess ; Whereas "Not That Girl Anymore"
again is in a design that highlights the song & structure of a tunesmith
"Light On My
Face" along with "Make It Feel Better" are songs that project a complex
emotional vista that explore the directions of the heart. The latter cut
replete with stand up acoustic Bass , is a classic work of atmospheric
character "Look What You've
Done" is a beatific gem. A Celine Dion or Barbara Strisand would compliment
a song such as this "Falling Down"
like "Say Goodbye" , is a wondrous tune that would make Burt Bacharach
wink. Essentially , one is led to the conclusion that Marci Geller , is
a stellar songwriter. Kate Bush take note One could easily
imagine a number of "high profile" singers utilizing the dynamics of Marci
Geller's music ; Yet that being said , Marci's Vocal shadings are superb
& admirable within themselves. An all-embracing superlative quality permeates
Marci Geller's music. A brooding & eloquent enigma. Phenomenal in scope
& compositional insight |
