Silence Is Wild is a solid step forward for Frida Hyvönen and a record to check out if you like singer/songwriters with a unique approach to be singing and songwriting.
-
In the past, Hyvönen’s songs worked as intellectual touchstones, but not necessarily always as songs. It’s the triumph of her new record that these two essential elements of her songwriting have been more or less reconciled.
-
Piano playing songwriter straight out of a ‘70s dinner party.
-
It feels like she’s made no effort to censor herself musically or lyrically, and that naked honesty makes this disc stand out strikingly.
-
Frida's a modern woman with her own sound and fury, and Silence breaks it open.
-
Her follow-up, Silence Is Wild, sounds not only more assured in its arrangements and performances, but more lively for being so self-indulgent.
-
By now, Frida’s come so far from where she started, you will have been won over, and it’s possible to see the early schmaltz as a necessary counterpoint: a musical analogue of the innocence to be lost, and/or transformed into experience.
