The Good Natured : 'Your Body Is A Machine'
Released: Out Now!
Label: Unsigned
At only 18 (maybe 19 now, I lose track of time), The Goodnatured is pretty young in the game. Regardless though, she has a marvellous voice and a very distinct sense of melody which is going to lead her to many interesting places indeed. Like a less overly produced Ellie Goulding, these are nicely crafted electro-pop songs, though here the element of electronics is stronger than on Ellie’s debut, “Lights”. There is a strange sense of maturity and of greater things to come and, while this is not quite there yet, it is a rather lovely melancholic piece of electro-pop and a foot in the door I, for one, will quite happily accept for the time being.
As for the mixes, Baby Monster do their thing and chop the vocals around and give the electronics more a rocky feel to them. The Asprins For My Children throws down some messy beats and turns up the distortion on the base for a harsher piece than I’m used to from him. On the flip side though, he counters it with melodies from the original and melodies of his own rather nicely to create my favourite thing he’s done since taking Hockey at least a year ago. Closing the package, Radioproof comes through with a slightly dancefloor friendly piece which starts all moody, building the vocal over a pulsing bass line before the percussion thunders in and searing lead-lines leap over the top. Not a shabby little package, really.
