I need this as much as I need about tree fiddy
My review (in FFWD weekly): I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now has a smooth, Nouvelle Vague style exploiting a brilliant contrast of hot and cold. Mary Elizabeth Winstead sings with a cool and seductive voice. Dan the Automator puts a bit of heat into the production. The pairing works incredibly well; it’s as satisfying to the ears as sweet and salty is to the pallet.
The concept of the album is “romance,” but for this duo, that doesn’t mean cheesy. The edginess of the subtle sampling styles mixed with retro-chic and a good dose of cute keep it from being too saccharine. The songs are as heartbreaking as they are lovey-dovey. While this sort of concept could tire out quickly, the album goes down smooth with a satisfying range of tempos and styles.
One of the liveliest songs here is “There’s A Revolution,” a clap-happy pop song adorned with horns, but the majority of the songs have the cool, sultry and eerie vibe of tracks like “Did We Live Too Fast.”
Got A Girl is for anyone who takes their music tender, with a splash of chic. Pairs well with spy films, candlelight and pinot noir.
