Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A hugely ambitious pop record with Emiliana's soaring voice center stage, bolstered by a rich gamut of musical styles. From the summery skank of the title track to the surging, breathless single "Jungle Drum" to the yearning, spine-tingling "Big Jumps", "Me And Armini" is a truly sublime album. Torrini sings the song at the end credits for "The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers", and she wrote two #1 hits for Kylie Minogue. Produced by Dan Carey (Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More and more....
A lot of words could be used to describe this work, but there are a few that seem more apropiated: beautiful, inspiring, lovely, sweet... For me, the most interesting thing in this new work by Emiliana Torrini is the fact that it shows an evolving style. Yes, still a beautiful, caressing voice, and in some points very mellow, but over all, more and more mature, more refined, more interesting, and, specially, deeper... Absolutely beautiful lyrics and very simple, almost minimal arragements. All the tracks are great, but for me, the greatest moments come with "Me and Armini", "Birds", "Heard it all before", "HA HA", "Hold Heart" and the absolutely beautiful final track, "Bleeder"... Definetely, a must if you like Emiliana's style. It just let us wanting more and more...


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Without you I would never rise.
Emiliana Torrini's last album was all wistful folk. Before that, it was all equally wistful electronic pop and the creepily pretty closing song to "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers."

But before all that, she dabbled happily in everything from jazz to J-pop, raw-throated indie-rock to the blues -- and she did a pretty good job at all of them. And while her fifth album "Me and Armini" doesn't quite explore EVERYTHING she's done before, Torrini slips back comfortably into some of the musical niches she has already carved. Her delicate pop is flavoured by tinges of other styles and genres, and sometimes those other sounds (as in "Gun") overwhelm it completely.

"Somebody's got a long way to go/You're not sitting by the phone no more... Mmm, are we going crazy?/It's not ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's a hit
Emiliana Torrini's music is awesome; it has way more of an original sound than the deplorable sounds we hear on the radio. If you like Regina Spektor, Yael Naïm, Feist, you should give her a listen:)


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent folk styled poppy numbers, with dark and delicate tension.
Born to an Italian father and Icelandic mother, Emiliana made a few albums when she was young that only saw release in Iceland, but with her widely released "Love In The Time Of Science" she gained a wider audience in Europe.
She worked closely with multi-instrumentalist Dan Carey on "Fisherman's Woman" and on that album and this new one you can notice how well suited they are together, comfortable to explore any avenues that they encounter, and make something worthwhile out of it.
Turns in co-writing Kylie Minogue single "Slow", and lending her vocals to the spectral Gollum's Song over the credits to "The Lord of the Rings", are other notable, and slightly surprising, facts about her.
Her seventh album sees her embracing a quietly startling range of mainly acoustic moods: ... Read More
