Album Review

“Where Do You Go To Disappear?” could well be a question that one might ask TINA DICO. Although she worked under her Alter Ego DICKOW, released a Best of and a live album, a soundtrack and an EP trilogy, somehow the focus on TINA DICO as a “project” got loose. Maybe TINA DICO calmed down a little bit, she moved from metropolises to the wide and lonesome plains of Iceland with her boyfriend HELGI JÓNSSON… maybe she settled down…

Well, if she did, her actual release gives no proof of that! An album full of variety and diversified sounds that ranges from singer/ songwriter to pop songs or even Jazz elements. Of course, TINA DICO´s relationship with HELGI JÓNSSON led to a collaboration, but to that kind that really works. It’s the typical sound of JÓNSSONS synthesizer sequences combined with the very own style of DICO that makes this release so worth listening to. A new chapter in TINA DICO´s work has opened. Maybe the landscapes of Iceland would make her thoughtful. But for now, “the fear” that TINA DICO might sound like other Icelandic acts (don’t get me wrong, I LIKE that kind of sound, but TINA DICO is TINA DICO) is gone. The variety of songwriter-songs and pop-songs as far as orchestral soundscapes paired with fresh arrangements and a confident composing led to a release that should be supported, because it’s so more musical than several releases within the charts.

Although I have to admit that I was more into ‘Welcome Back Colour’, ‘Where Do You Go To Disappear?’ is a solid album I’d like to listen to and probably will - especially on Sunday morning breakfast events… ;)
