Corbi Wright : All the little ways (US,2006)**'
Lately I read in an interview of a man who said it took a long time in his life to find out what was the real difference between male and female thinking : when facing a problem man goes to it and re-arranges it, while the females walk so much around it and only talk about it, while in the end, it often is also solved by this indirect attention, while it took much more trouble to face things so directly.. With Corbi's music I have the impression that it is also about circumstances that are not changed or directed to change. It has a sweet feminine surface, which, in a loner way, does not reveal itself easily, at last not through starting to make it change through a creative process. While the music is soft and bare it is not as stripped to a vulnerable strength as I could expect. The songs are and remain, as art and as communication, as the vague spherical going around things, in that kind of form mentioned by the interviewer, keeping it nice, easy but not always entirely clear, by poetic or other surroundings.
Corbi's voice and singing has qualities, slowly pushing like teddy bears, taking the time to sing, revealing something of a soulful character, delicatelly quiet, ..as "just nice".
