User Album Review
Concurrently, the album is playful and celebratory with Merton using catchy hooks and danceable beats to engross the listener completely. The opening track "Learn to Live" is a euphoric frolic while "Funny Business" is pure dance-pop. Yet Merton employs wide-ranging musical influences. On "Homesick", for instance, she elongates the syllabic phrasing on alone when she sings "alone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone" thereby showing a distinct soul music flair. Her use of crescendos and echoes is enduring on "2 Kids". Her voice is stunning in its devastation when she utilizes her range to sing "I miss my lover" in "Honeymoon Heartbreak". Undulating between calm and rampage, Merton uses her voice's pitch and the music's tempo to both pacify and rebel. Especially effective are the shouted echoes of "2 Kids" turning the song into a youthful remonstration.
Disregarding the clichés, be dazzled by Alice Merton's MINT. The full-length debut is an electrifying and empowering album. MINT fortifies Merton's position in popular music while authorizing her strength as an artist and woman.
