Track of the Moment: More by Elle Odessa


           
           Some folk music tells stories weaving tales, truthful or not, using music as a medium.  Others paint pictures allowing the reader to use the words and melody to see what the artist is describing.  Then there is a select few that really make you feel.  Something about the music, delivery, and vocals that can really…I don’t know; make you feel.  Elle Odessa has that ability.
            The melody in this track is pretty simple, almost making the sound feel a little vacant.  This, however, works in the songs favor.  The theme of the song is greed, or desire.  The singer has an insatiable lust, and as she rattles off a list of things she wants the song builds, almost in a metaphoric way.
            I don’t have to much info on the artist herself, but you can find out what you will on her facebook where you can hear this and her other two tracks.  I’d love to hear more from her, and hopefully I’ll be able to get hold of her for those of you who, like Elle Odessa, want more.  Until then fill your ears with this.
