Dancing About Architecture

By and large pop music tends to follow some pretty tried and tested templates. Most chart bound offerings fresh off the music industry production line seem to have more in common than the things that instead make them stand out from each other. Homogenisation thy name is modern pop music. But even if the creative benchmarks in the genre weren’t currently so low, Jaguar Grace, perhaps the coolest name in music, would still shine like a beacon in the murky musical night.  

It seems that I’m doing her music a disservice by calling such brilliantly executed music pop, but pop it is, but it is also jazz infused, orchestral, cinematic and electronic driven. The fact that Jaguar Grace has had an accomplished career outside of pop music explains exactly why she is able to bring so much extra to the songs.This more classical background is used to lift the music into more theatrical, dynamic and dramatic realms, to create everything from sweeping waves of sound, sky scrapping crescendos, subtle break downs, roaring brass attacks and ambient background washes.  

The two ends of the spectrum are highlighted by the fact that many of the songs have alternate versions taking the form of trumpet driven instrumentals or minimised sound scores which fall into a wonderfully beguiling baroque-pop area of the sort that we rarely hear today.  

There is even room for haunting choral sections on the introduction to She Fell, the fact that such a gothic and dark piece is shot through with Stax horn stabs doesn’t seem as out of place as it appears on paper. After All is a jaunty and infectious piece and Artificial Heart reminds us of just how cool the harpsichord is.  

For an album that mixes such seemingly mutually exclusive sound, one that plays with ideas and sound palettes from across genre and era, it isn’t as strange as you might imagine. It’s just that it plays with such brilliant musical melds and meshes that it might take a little time to adjust but it is done so brilliantly that by the time you put the album on for a second play you will be wondering why everyone doesn’t make albums this wide ranging and mercurial.

MIDDLE TENNESSEE MUSIC

 Embracing a multi-genre sound, Jaguar Grace’s music is pop with a few twists and turns. Pop with a little more maturity. Pop that isn’t afraid to cross boundaries and stretch the limits of what one considers a pop song.  

Mixing orchestral elements with electronica accents, Jaguar Grace’s blend of sonic elements is refreshing, distinct and in a lane all its own. Regal horn lines, emotive strings, uplifting rhythms and passionate vocal performances combine for an over-the-top listening experience.  

Boyography Pt 1 presents us with an infectious, contagious, enchanting sonic foundation with which Jaguar Grace uses to share life lessons in love. The instrumental tracks included on the album are an added bonus and a quite the delightful listening experience. This is pop that exudes a maturity well beyond that of your average pop record.

The song which was originally performed by Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias, was written by Albert Hammond and Hal David. On the piece Jaguar Grace makes the song her own by given it a unique and updated twist that will blow your mind. Up until now, the New York artist has had an accomplished career in music outside of the pop realm. But no matter how far she journeyed beyond the pop firmament, a constellation of infectiously hooky songs she wrote two decades ago beckoned. Now, Jaguar resurrects this exquisite collection of orchestral pop electronica, breathing new life into its lessons of love. Her latest release “Boyography Pt. l," is on repeat and we can't wait to hear more.”
