CORINNE IS MAGICAL
by chitowndude on 4/23/10Vic Theatre - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5this was a great show.... hands down. great tunes, great band, corinne is a true talent. I love her voice, songwriting (in particular her harmonic sense) and, of course, her looks! corinne & co. are a talented bunch, in the age of auto-tune, it's always refreshing to hear someone represent live. I caught her on her first buzz tour in Chicago back in 2005, in a small club with about 150 people present... I have to say that her original band "hit" a little harder in the groove sense, but the current group is more talented across the board of a diverse palate needed to play the music from "the sea" live. highlights: all of the songs from the new records, plus a few great ones from the first album. She has a lot of material now!!! A crazy dub/reggae version of "i only have eyes for you" was a nice added touch. lowlights: most all of the uptempo stuff was in the first 1/4 of the set. there were too many down tempos towards the middle/end that kind of took the wind out of the sails of an otherwise great set. a encore of "que sera sera" at a "hey jude" singsongy tempo didn't help matters either. I left there feeling like I needed a redbull or a shot of espresso
