Song Review:

Thrill Racer – In Revenge I believe

(Available as a free mp3 download from free – http://home.simplyweb.net/thrill/index.html)

This has quite a while in coming, I must admit.

For those who know me would know I have known Jill aka. Thrill for a number of years, a young, honest singer songwriter from San Diego, California and she was specially one of the first people I wanted to interview when I launched “Setting Sun” back in 2003.

Back then, Thrill had produced a number of songs that I certainly were heading in the right direction by herself, and I must admit I expected her to carry on from there and produce something really special.

Expect it all went quiet (aside from a cheery Christmas Version at the end of last year of “We Three Kings” and a colleberation with me and my good buddies in D.I.H on “And the Rest is Silence” – which will be going live soon on “Setting Sun”) and I thought that was it for a short while (even though I still enjoyed a fruitful correspodence with her).

Expect it’s not as Thrill herself made me aware recently of a new mp3 she has recently posted on her website.

And it’s a cracker without doubt and almost certainly one of the best songs she has produced by herself with the Piano meshing together much more with the pre-programmed drums, when perhaps previously on some of her earlier songs, the drums were more in the forefront and threatened the rhythm of the song, here they are much more placed in the back-ground and carry the rhythm of the song more smoothly.

But perhaps the biggest shock was the singing Thrill adapted was itself sounded different. While Thrill still kept to the style she has successfully adapted for herself over the past few years (which from the top of my head has drew comparisons with Nico and Fiona Apple among others), I certainly found this song while still retaining the anger she has used in some of her previous songs, it seemed to be carried from a third person point of view more, perhaps in a way reminding me of the lyrical content of her earlier song “Class Conscious” (which is also available there again for download) in the sense of holding back more and then in the process hitting twice as hard, and that was before she started hitting some of the high notes, which had me thinking at least more than once during the song, wow!
