I love Utopia digital booklet
Kerli Koiv, an Estonian singer known for both her dark and Goth-friendly debut titled Love is Dead and her own unique clothing/writing style called BubbleGoth, has arrived.
With Love is Dead, Kerli proved she was not only a good singer-songwriter, but a pretty talented one, too. Years after, here is Kerli, with a brand-new sound and a whole new worldview.
While Love is Dead was depression with a few sprinkles of light and happiness in it, Utopia is Kerli's resurrection into the dance floor.
Yes, Utopia is dance and electronica. But that doesn't mean, however, that it is full of throwaway lyrics and filled with generic music. Let me tell you why.
The first track, "Can't Control The Kids", is a song penned after Kerli realized just how much powers teenagers have on their hands, thanks to the internet and all the stuff it brings.
"Lucky Ones" is an ode to friendship, written for Kerli's best friend, Brian Ziff, also known as Vespertine. It's message is that we are lucky to be here, alive and healthy.
The third track is the heartbreaking "Love Me or Leave Me", a tale of how a loved one has changed, and no longer loves you. Just listen to it, and it will show you that Kerli is not your usual "dance diva".
"Sugar" follows, and it is the "sexy" song from the EP. Filled with Kerli's moans and pleas for a lover who is "sweet like sugar", it is fun and hot at the same time.
"Here and Now" is the fifth song, and it talks about Kerli's wish for finding release in the dance floor. "I wouldn't want to be, anywhere but here and now."
"Chemical" closes the record with another show of Kerli's vulnerablity, this time shown as a love song. Here, she tells a lover that her feelings are more than a chemical.
The EP concludes with a remix of single "The Lucky Ones", which doesn't really add or take from the overall experience.
To wrap this up, Kerli's Utopia more than delivers. It shows Kerli isn't selling out, as many of her "Moonchildren" claimed when she released "Army of Love", her first fully electronica-influenced song. It shows that Kerli is growing, as an artist actually should.
Integrity, Love, Unity.
