Description

This 1992 album by Sophie B Hawkins displays a variety of styles, from the pop hit ballad of Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover to the jazzy arrangement of the up-tempo Mysteries We Understand. Innovative percussion is used throughout to add interesting flourishes to the music, plus voice samples that add atmosphere to tracks like Carry Me. She turns Bob Dylan’s I Want You into a rather sad but beautiful lament, whilst California Here I Come has a spiritual undertone with parts of the lord’s prayer interwoven in the lyrics. Sometimes her music has a certain quirky reminiscent of the work of Marymore… Margaret O’Hara or Jane Siberry, as in the beautiful song Before I Walk On Fire. We Are One Body has a fascinating rhythm and vocal arrangement with world music influences, whilst Listen starts with moody, evocative sounds and undergoes frequent tempo changes, from fast and rhythmic back to spoken vocals. Not every track is equally engaging, but overall Tongues and Tails is a lovely album that will appeal to fans of the singer/songwriter and innovative pop genres.
