    An album that frets gently and artfully at the wounds of human attraction and rejection.

After sheltering for weeks in Sydney, her native land, composing and producing and recording, we finally have our newest project "Depth of Field" released under the Universal Music label and defined by the artist as "a perspective on the trauma." The eletropop is relieved.
    The project shows itself to be an overwhelming force in elegant work and a sober and sensitive production, its pre-production was marked by motherhood and crises where its identity was put to the test and much of this tension is present between the lines walking from hands with ambition and vulnerability. All balanced in a 41 minute record of a well done investment.
    Tracks like "Making it up" and "Phantom" are packed with potential, both with great emotional load and restrained aggressiveness and dangerously inviting. The whole album is marked by troubled emotions and messy. The first part is dense and flows naturally, Blasko transits into a retro wave without sounding cliche. The second part is slower and somewhat milder than before, Blasko has more freedom on vocals and takes advantage of it to evoke his versatility and does not sin on that point. Everything sounds calculated and perfectly executed and perhaps the biggest mistake is the lack of spontaneity especially in "Another" considering that this is the weaker track of the record.
    Overall, "Depth of Field" is a good job, without promising Sarah Blasko knew how to put her external crises into something audible and deliver an affordable and good quality work. In her diva moments or in a more mundane atmosphere, Blasko deserves laurels for this release.    … Full Review »
