Our Take

Step aside, Adele, there's a new queen ruling the City of Love, and her name is Ma Polaine. In their latest album "City of Love," Ma Polaine's Great Decline takes us on a musical journey through the winding streets of Paris, blending elements of blues, folk, and jazz with a sprinkle of magic dust.

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Beth Packer to the mesmerizing guitar work of Clinton Hough, every track on this album oozes with a sense of nostalgia and longing. It's like being serenaded by a ghost from a bygone era, whisking you away to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Montmartre.

Songs like "Goodnight" and "Residue" showcase the band's ability to weave intricate melodies with poignant lyrics, while tracks like "The Ground Will Hold Me" and "Cleo" transport you to a dimly lit alleyway, with only the sound of a lone saxophone to keep you company.

But don't be fooled by the album's title - "City of Love" is not all romance and roses. Ma Polaine's Great Decline also delves into the darker side of love, exploring themes of heartbreak, loss, and betrayal with raw honesty and vulnerability.

So, if you're in the mood for some soul-stirring music that will transport you to the cobblestone streets of Paris, look no further than Ma Polaine's Great Decline's "City of Love." It's a musical masterpiece that will leave you swooning and yearning for more.
