Listening
to the sultry songs on Eleanor Dunlop would perhaps bring to mind the typical
comparisons I like to drop every time I listen to something that you could call
“along these lines”, but the thing is that Eleanor Dunlop isn’t really along
those lines and has quite a style all her own, borrowed from influences that I
don’t get to hear as much as I’d like to these days.
While
Fleetwood Mac is on my go-to list for comparisons (I blame the musicians for
all loving Fleetwood Mac), I can only remember a handful of times throwing out
a PJ Harvey nod. But this piano and
beautiful voice also- for the first time that I can remember- brings out
elements of Fiona Apple. Wow, I know
Fiona Apple recently made that album with the really long title, but I don’t think
I’ve ever compared anyone to her before.
The
most remarkable feat here is that not only does Eleanor Dunlop trade such
interesting styles I’m not used to referencing, the fact is that she blends
them all so seamlessly and that just makes me feel like she truly knows what
she is doing and she just does it oh so well.
