Liz Phair»rank: 20275par: Liz Phair
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Eponymous albums are usually either debuts or the work of musicians trying to introduce themselves to a new audience. Count Liz Phair among the latter. lt's Phair's fourth studio album, but her first since 1998, and it's a long way from the arty, low-fi sound that marked her true full-length debut, 1993's Exile in Guyville. Phair has developed into a considerably more confident singer, while her songs and the production they receive here are as slick and radio-friendly as anything by, say, as Avril Lavigne. That's no ... |

Exile in Guyville»rank: 20275par: Liz Phair
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Phair claimed that this album was a song-by-song answer to the Rolling Stones' Exile 0n Main St. While that's unlikely, it's an astonishing songwriting debut. Guyville got a lot of attention for its very frank sexuality, and though Phair knows how to shock, her real strength is lyrics that capture subtleties of extreme emotional states and interpersonal bargaining. Her voice isn't great, but all it has to do is ride the rails of her acutely observed, ingeniously melodic songs: 'Divorce Song''s laser-beam analysis of the moment when ... |

Whip-Smart»rank: 20275par: Liz Phair
Chroniques et points de vue:From :After Exile in Guyville turned Liz Phair into an indie-rock pinup queen, rock critics and lo-fi aficionados everywhere awaited her follow-up with bated breath. lnstead of making Guyville ll, Phair sidestepped expectations by delivering Whip-smart, an album that replaced the shoestring intimacy of her debut with more traditional song arrangements and (gasp!) professional-sounding production. Though it lacks anything as memorable (and quotable) as Guyville's 'Fuck and Run,' the record has some notable high points, including the acerbic 'Chopsticks,' the lovely ballad 'Nashville,' and the perfect pop single ... |

Somebodys Miracle»rank: 31955par: Liz Phair
Chroniques et points de vue:From :ls Liz Phair apologizing? lt would be easy to get that impression from the title track of Somebody's Miracle. Suddenly the singer who was once known for her jaded lyrics and liberal use of the 'f' word, is throwing around different kinds of 'f' words altogether. 'Faith?' 'Fairytale?' 0nce, a generation of young women turned to Phair to express their collective rage at emotionally unavailable men. Now it's all about frogs with princes inside, and her regret over fleeing relationships with a few good men. My, how ... |
