Our Take

Ah, Harry Nilsson, a name synonymous with both genius and madness. "Nilsson Schmilsson" sees the enigmatic singer-songwriter at his peak, blending elements of rock, pop, and even a touch of whimsy.

The album kicks off with the infectious hit "Gotta Get Up," a bouncy number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Nilsson's honeyed vocals glide effortlessly over the funky bassline and catchy refrain, making it impossible not to tap your feet along.

Tracks like "Without You" showcase Nilsson's emotive storytelling and vocal range, with soaring melodies that tug at the heartstrings. Meanwhile, "Coconut" brings a touch of humour to the mix, with its playful lyrics and Caribbean-inspired instrumentation.

Throughout "Nilsson Schmilsson," Nilsson effortlessly shifts between genre and mood, showcasing his versatility as an artist. Whether he's belting out a soulful ballad or crooning a lighthearted ditty, Nilsson's charm and talent shine through.

In true Nilsson fashion, the album wraps up with the hauntingly beautiful "Jump into the Fire," a psychedelic rock epic that leaves the listener craving more.

Overall, "Nilsson Schmilsson" is a masterpiece of its time, showcasing Nilsson's unparalleled talent and eccentricity. A must-listen for fans of unique, genre-defying music.

About the artist

Harry Nilsson

Few artists have managed to straddle the line between mainstream success and cult adoration quite like Harry Nilsson. With a voice like butter and a knack for crafting infectious melodies, Nilsson has carved out a unique place in the pantheon of rock and pop music. Born in Brooklyn in the swinging sixties, Nilsson first made a name for himself as a songwriter, penning hits for artists like the Monkees and Three Dog Night. But it was his solo career that truly set him apart. With albums like "Pandemonium Shadow Show" and "Aerial Ballet", Nilsson proved himself to be a master of blending lush orchestration with emotionally raw lyrics. But it was his seminal album "Nilsson Schmilsson" that truly catapulted him into the stratosphere. From the anthemic "Gotta Get Up" to the heartbreaking ballad "Without You", Nilsson showcased his range and talent in a way that few artists could ever hope to match. And let's not forget his penchant for the absurd, with tracks like "Coconut" and "Spaceman" showcasing his quirky sense of humor. Despite his undeniable talent, Nilsson's personal life was often tumultuous, with struggles with substance abuse and health issues casting a shadow over his later years. But through it all, his music remained a testament to his brilliance and endurance. Harry Nilsson may no longer be with us, but his legacy lives on in the hearts of music lovers everywhere. Raise a glass to the man who sang like an angel and lived like a devil. Cheers, Harry.
