“Bring It” is a pop rock/pop punk album from Japanese female vocalist Midori and her backing band Audioclique. Midori has a strong, mainstream voice similar to the lead vocalist of Paramore that is sure to take her far, and her group vocals with Audioclique are enjoyable as well. The lyrics on “Bring It” are wistful, heartfelt, longing, and bitter, great for that mainstream sound they seem to be looking for. “Black Monday” and “Take Me There” have catchy choruses one can’t help but to sing along to. The recording is clean and professional sounding, ready to hit alternative radio airwaves. The title track, “Bring It,” has a fast-paced sound with a great guitar solo while Midori demands your attention with her vocals. “Close Your Eyes” is much slower and stripped down as Midori sings you a lullaby backed only by a beautiful piano progression. Overall, “Bring It” is a fun album and a sparkling debut from Midori/Audioclique that is sure to be all over the radio. Fans of female pop punk, check out “Bring It.” -Chris & the RadioIndy Reviewer TeamCheck out Midori/Audioclique's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sitesa |
