we can enjoy sunshine pop with sophisticated pieces produced and written

in Sagittarius or Millennium, as Sandy Salisbury, Lee Mallory or Keith
Olsen, a former member of the Music Machine and brother-Dotti, as well as
the bare demos taste of folk-pop foundation, where his voice communicant
perfectly with the acoustic sounds to configure tender melodies, where
they shake hands the beauty, the evocation and sweetness. cuts
studio recordings, such as "I sing my song", great song written
by Dana Adams and Michele O'Malley (Member Ballroom), or "Foolish
Times", written and produced theme by Curt Boettcher, shown as
angelic and ethereal the vocalism of Holmberg, the heavenly vocal games
and creating lovely melodies, magnified by exquisite arrangements, serve
to build sounds that emulate warm summer breezes and waste of refinement
thanks to a production job they radiate light to overcome the issue
without essential framework of writing. Dotti is revealed as a very significant songwriter, prone to
melancholy and emotional sounds, found in pieces like "And we're
one" theme with lyrics and music by Sandy Dotti Salisbury, the
wonderful "Let your know", "To touch upon the light",
"The bird (did not die)", a song that has an attractive vocal
accompaniment Randy Garcia, or "The Essence", delicious
combinations of voices topics embelesadoras, cuddly instrumental
treatments, scraps bossa nova and exquisite and deliberate aura of candor
and beauty. In the demos, ballads usually of a more folk-pop and flower power
aura in which Holmberg is accompanied simply by an acoustic guitar and
sometimes a tambourine, we appreciate your sensitivity and ability to
melodic construction, and in the loving "Love is "the
precious" Magic Carpet Ride ", co-written and sung a duet with
Randy Swickard, or song compilation's title," Sometimes happy times
". Even dares with
blues in "Baby's Blues", which could well interpret the first
Elvis Presley. Also in the collection Dotti retrieves a topic of Goldebriars,
written by Bobb Goldsteinn Boettcher, manager training, "Sea of
Tears", which rob the folk look of the original version
to make it sound a lot more sunshine face pop. |

Dotti Holmberg.- Sometimes happy times (Recopilatorio) |

En este recopilatorio, con grabaciones realizadas entre los años
1966 y 1970, tanto podemos disfrutar con sofisticadas piezas sunshine pop
producidas y escritas por la propia Dotti con ayuda del mismísimo
Boettcher o de otros participantes prominentes en Sagittarius o
Millennium, como Sandy Salisbury, Lee Mallory o Keith Olsen, ex miembro de
Music Machine y cuñado de Dotti, como también paladear las desnudas
demos, de cimiento folk-pop, en donde su voz comulga a la perfección con
los sonidos acústicos para configurar tiernas melodías, en donde se dan
la mano la beldad, la evocación y la dulzura. Dotti se revela como una escritora de canciones muy apreciable,
con tendencia a sonidos melancólicos y afectivos, hallados en piezas como
“And we’re one”, tema con letra de Dotti y música de Sandy
Salisbury, la maravillosa “Let your know”, “To touch upon the
light”, “The bird (didn’t die)”, canción que cuenta con un
atractivo acompañamiento vocal de Randy García, o “The Essence”,
deliciosos temas con combinaciones de voces embelesadoras, mimosos
tratamientos instrumentales, retazos de bossa nova y un exquisito y
deliberado aura de candidez y belleza. En las demos, generalmente baladas de cariz más folk-pop y aura
flower power en las cuales Holmberg aparece acompañada simplemente por
una guitarra acústica y en ocasiones una pandereta, apreciamos su
sensibilidad y la habilidad para la construcción melódica, como en la
cariñosa “Love is”, la preciosa “Magic Carpet Ride”, co-escrita y
cantada a dúo con Randy Swickard, o la canción que da título al
recopilatorio, “Sometimes happy times”. Incluso se atreve con el blues
en “Baby’s blues”, que bien podría interpretar el primer Elvis
Presley. También en el recopilatorio Dotti recupera un tema de los
Goldebriars, escrito por Boettcher junto a Bobb Goldsteinn, mánager de la
formación, “Sea of tears”, al que despojan del cariz folk de su versión
original para hacerlo sonar con un semblante mucho más sunshine pop. |
