The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger - Acoustic Sessions

Reviewed by yewknee

My introduction to this undertaking from Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl collaborative undertaking was a little two song single, "Jardin du Luxembourg," with some great French pop stylings. I had hoped for more of the same from the full-length, but with a title like Acoustic Sessions my hopes weren't high. On the whole, there is a great appeal to both of their vocals — especially when used in tandem. Musically, it keeps your attention, but it's never overly striking; sort of what you'd expect from acoustic renditions of your favorite songs, only in this case you haven't heard the fully fleshed out versions yet. Not giving up on listening to this project, but I'd moreso recommend the single than I would the album. [theghostofasabertoothtiger.com]
