Chains.......2006-06-25
No doubt this is the best album recorded by Carmen Consoli so far. The aggressive anger of "Mediamente isterica" doesn't belong to this cd. No screams, no aggressivity. On the contrary she gives voice to feelings like compassion and benevolence. In "Eva contro Eva" you find a singer and a woman who wants to be mature and aware, willing to reflect about the customs of Italian society, surely a part of it. And by reading the present scale of values such society seems to impoverish day by day. Instead of talking about herself directly as she has often done in the previous albums (we could find only a few exceptions), Carmen reinvents herself as a storyteller. She introduces different characters, often defeated by a society where slander and lack of human values reign, and give them a story and a dignity. Each one of these characters is somehow lost, victim of prejudices, victim of social expectations. Every story has its glory, I would say. Don't be scared of this new path followed by Carmen Consoli. It is likely that some of the fans will be distracted and disappointed by the lack of electric guitars but, in my opinion, this choice is a need required by these twelve songs. Simply listen without prejudice. "Eva contro Eva" is an acoustic album where Carmen and her band try to recover what musically was getting lost with the passing of time. Therefore you can hear the sound of different instruments belonging to the precious Sicilian culture mixed together to instruments coming from Africa and from Eastern Europe. Such soundtrack gives the album a romantic and ancient colour, as well as turning over the pages of a book of old photographs yellowed with age. Carmen Consoli doesn't pretend she is an American rocker in these songs. Proudly she tells her background, her roots. Lyrics are very important to seize what this songstress intends to communicate through this album and that's why I advise you to buy the internation version of it as you may find the translations into English and French in the booklet. Last but not least, "Eva contro Eva" includes a couple of collaborations with Angelique Kidjo (dueting with Carmen in "Madre Terra") and with Goran Bregovic (his is the music written for "Il pendio dell'abbandono"). Okay, Carmen doesn't scream in this album but she's ready to fight through her words. How? By declaring this society.
