Our Take

Christiania Mannskor's latest album, "Something Blue," is a musical journey that is as delightful as it is bewildering. This Norwegian all-male choir brings a unique twist to traditional choral music, combining elements of folk, pop, and even a dash of electronica to create a sound that is both familiar and groundbreaking.

The opening track, "Nordic Nights," sets the tone for the album with its hauntingly beautiful harmonies and ethereal instrumentation. It's like being transported to the forests of Scandinavia, where the trees whisper ancient secrets and the Northern Lights dance in the sky.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Midnight Sun" and "Sea Shanty" showcase Christiania Mannskor's versatility and creativity. The contrast between the angelic voices of the choir and the pulsating beats of the electronic elements is truly mesmerizing.

However, there are moments on "Something Blue" where the experimentation feels a bit forced and the overall cohesiveness of the album is somewhat lacking. Tracks like "Dancing in the Dark" and "Rainbow Bridge" veer dangerously close to becoming pastiche rather than genuine artistic expression.

Overall, Christiania Mannskor's "Something Blue" is a mixed bag. While the choir's talent and innovation are undeniable, there are moments where they lose their way in a sea of genre-bending choices. But hey, isn't that what makes music exciting? So grab your headphones, press play, and let Christiania Mannskor take you on a wild ride through the Nordic wilderness.
