Sam Fischer - I Love You, Please Don‘t Hate Me Der Weg zu seinem Debütalbum war für Sam Fischer alles andere als leicht: Der australische Singer/Songwriter hatte von Anfang an mit inneren und äußeren Widrigkeiten zu kämpfen. Alleine die Tatsache, dass sein erstes Label die Zusammenarbeit abbrach, brachte Fischer kurz vor das komplette Ende seiner Musikkarriere. Die sowieso schon vorhandenen Selbstzweifel fanden hier fruchtbaren Boden. […]

I don't talk about my anxiety much in general anymore. I'm fortunate that entering adulthood and pushing myself into things like full-time work has really helped ease it. But that doesn't mean I don't have my moments still. Tonight I face something that has had me on edge for a good portion of the week: I'm going to a concert. By myself. I'm nervous, but excited, and I'm a lil' bit proud of myself tbh 😊 Achievement unlocked 😉 . . . . #amyshark #music #concert #anxiety #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/BnvIwI9FmvC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zbmmfp09s9zv

It’s insane that each year, the list I’ve compiled of my favorite songs I’ve heard over the last twelve months seems to get longer longer, making it all the harder to choose a Top 100. As of writing this, my full list has nearly 300 songs on it. Deciding what makes the final cut is an internal struggle with a list of factors leading to the final decision. Genre is not one of those factors: these…

Amy Shark - Love Monster Review

Amy Shark - Love Monster

Release Date - July 13, 2018

Genres - Indie Pop

Love Monster is the debut album from Australian pop singer/songwriter Amy Shark. Despite being relatively unknown in America, she has already gained a lot of popularity in her home country, and her single “Adore” was even #2 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 in 2016. With Love Monster, Amy Shark shows a lot of potential, but sadly her sound and her songwriting still need a lot of work.

It’s hard to talk about Amy Shark without talking about Lorde. The comparisons are everywhere, from the themes in their music to the type of production found on their songs. Jack Antonoff is even a producer on Love Monster, and he famously produced and co-wrote Lorde’s masterpiece Melodrama last year. Sadly for Amy Shark, she simply just doesn’t stack up to Lorde in any way. Lorde’s songs about lost love and destroyed relationships are far more compelling and emotional, and Amy Shark sounds like she’s really trying to step into Lorde’s lane. Amy Shark isn’t simply a Lorde rip-off though, there just happen to be a lot of similarities between their songs. Amy Shark’s production also contains a lot of acoustic guitars that underlie the largely electronic production. The track “Psycho”, which is produced by blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, features electric guitars in place of acoustic ones, causing it to stand out a lot. The album’s closer, “You Think I Think I Sound Like God”, is an emotional standout, and it’s explosive finale has heavy influences from Coldplay’s alt-rock gem A Rush Of Blood To The Head. However, besides these two tracks, there really isn’t much variety among the songs sonically. The album contains a staggering 14 songs, a number that is far too high for a pop album, and especially for an inexperienced newcomer. Unfortunately, Amy Shark is unable to keep the listener’s attention over the nearly 50 minute runtime, and this problem is worsened by the lack of variety across the album.

That isn’t to say that the album doesn’t have its shining moments. Opening track “I Got You” is simple, stunning, and ultimately a perfect indie pop song. It opens with a single acoustic guitar, but then the percussion comes in, and finally the electronic production settles in. It’s one of the few truly happy songs on the album, but its subtlety makes it so much stronger. “Psycho”, which also features Mark Hoppus on vocals, is a great duet contrasting the comforting and jealous types in a relationship. Shark represents the comforting type, while Hoppus represents someone riddled with paranoia. The two meet in the middle though for a hauntingly beautiful chorus about dedication and love. “Leave Us Alone” is a painful ballad where Amy laments a past relationship. She sings depressedly over echoing drums, that sounds like they’re hidden in the past with her former relationship. She nearly screams as she begs for the memory to leave her alone. “Mess Her Up” is a largely electronic track with booming production, and I commend it for being one of the truly entertaining songs on the album.

Love Monster is a product of its influences and the inexperience of its creator, Amy Shark. Lorde’s influence covers the album from front to back, but Amy Shark brings enough new to the table that it isn’t simply a rip-off. Daft Punk’s influence can be heard on many of the electronic pieces, and Coldplay’s pop-rock sound of the early 2000s can be heard throughout as well. Amy Shark falls into the trap of only writing about love, and mostly about her failed experiences with it. Her melancholy is overbearing at times, but when she channels it correctly, it’s truly powerful. While most of the album is average and fairly forgettable, there are a handful of songs that really show off her talents. However, there are also other songs, which I chose not to mention, that really do not her justice at all. With an album that contains 14 songs, it’s strange that these tracks weren’t left on the cutting room floor, but I’m sure that’s something she’ll learn to acknowledge with time and experience. Overall, Love Monster is a promising debut album from a singer who is still finding her own footing in a music industry that is saturated with similar sounds. I look forward to hearing from Amy Shark again, and I’m sure she’ll only get better with age.

My Final Score: 6/10

Favorite Songs: “I Got You”, “Leave Us Alone”, “Psycho”, “Mess Her Up”

Least Favorite Songs: “I Said Hi”, “The Idiot”, “I’m a Liar”
