ALBUM REVIEW - MAG - Music Australia Guide by Billy Pinnell (05/05)
When was the last time you heard an album featuring a female singer whose original music is influenced by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Easybeats, 70's David Bowie, Bo Diddley and David Lynch?
If the prospect of investigating such a release is mouth watering, do whatever it takes to get a hold of a copy of Leanne Kingwell's debut 'New Tattoo'.
Backed by an explosive rhythm section, inventive lead guitar and Chris Copping's Hammond organ, Leanne interprets her intelligent sexy lyrics with a voice that is powerful but never harsh, authoritative and passionate.
Highlights abound on virtually every track. The sexy Stones-ish 'Can't Get Enough' ('grab my hips, spank me, jump up and down'), 'Look At My Life' with its resolute message (I've been to hell and back, still got some fuel in the tank'), the bitingly sarcastic 'Back To Me' ('you'll come crawling, don't sugar coat your reasons, it makes you sound weak... but I guess you are'). This is assertive songwriting of the highest order.
Here is a girl who won't be emotionally bullied. The album's two covers, the moody 'Blind' written by James Stewart from Melbourne band Overnight Jones finds Leanne sounding not unlike Julee Cruise, while The Angels, 'Be With You' a mid tempo rocker features another convincing vocal and tasty lead guitar from Stewart.
First time out and already Leanne Kingwell has left an indelible mark with 'New Tattoo'
