It’s a big moment on an album full of big moments-on an album that is, in fact, all about big moments. But then something unexpected happens: Rather than let the momentum subside, Morrison and her band coast on that cresting wave for several more minutes, maintaining that tension without sacrificing any nuance in her vocals or resorting to ostentatious melodrama. The song itself is one long, careful, patient crescendo, and by the halfway point, it seems to have reached its climax. This is pop music with a healthy sense of grandeur. Morrison’s voice wavers and twirls, suggesting a less forceful Florence Welch or a more grounded Jeff Buckley. Yet, she remains unfazed by the commotion, as she half-whispers lyrics about losing herself in lovelorn madness ("locura desmedida") and succumbing to a yearning that hurt worse ("más dolor") than physical wounds. Her overture is punctuated by an emphatic drumbeat and ominous piano chords, then an electric guitar crashes down around her. Love The Way You Kiss Me (Bonus Track)Ī towering standout on Carla Morrison’s new album, Amor Supremo, "No Vuelvo Jamás" is a pining anthem that opens with the Mexican singer-songwriter delivering a cascade of wordless syllables that sound less like a human voice than a wind instrument.

There's so much great territory to explore here and it's obvious that Isaak is having a ball, deftly switching gears from "Reverie," a twangy, torch number, and the tango-like "Kiss Me Like a Stranger," to the charmingly weird and high-octane "Don't Break My Heart" and the ivory-burning piano-driver "Running Down the Road."įirst Comes the Night offers up a looser-limbed and more vibrant Isaak than we've seen in a long time. The first single, "Please Don't Call," is a brilliant break-up jam that's dark and brooding, stuffed with damning lyrics ("We won't change so why should we pretend?") and a great melody. You can listen to First Comes the Night above, one week before its release, and pre-order the record here. Even at its most languid, the Nashville-and-noir-inspired album is packed with swagger, heart and foot-stomping fun. It's been six years since Chris Isaak released an album of new material, so maybe that's why First Comes the Night is bursting with life.
