My first impression with SA, was in the song Run, run, run, and I thought that she has a very amazing voice,. I still think she has it. Now I realise that the cd I got is her very first record (not included run, run, run). She demonstrates great talent she has, and the great career she will do in music. In my opinion this is it, the first record of what will comes with time, I mean, how she is singing now, with her new songs.

When I purchased Red Weather some time ago I thought she could be a product of modern production technique and didn't quite believe in Sophie's talents until I saw her live.

Have to say that Sophie's debut album was even more surprising actually. The quality and maturity of the whole production stands out vigorously against any artistic prejudice any educated user would hold.

Needed is to say that it may be difficult to be seduced by Sophie's blatant character and singing personality; just as it is difficult to follow a subtitled film or a surrealist painting.

This is a piece of art, from conception to delivery. Is cleverly engineered to amaze, engage and surprise at all levels, and I highly recommend it to the eclectic, connoisseurs and fine wine lovers in general.

If you are one of those who enjoy an immersion into an onirist vaudeville though the use of poetry, symbolics and metaphors ... you will love this sleeper hit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein außergewöhnliches musikalisches Debut
Reviewed in Germany on October 17, 2006

Ich habe mir diese CD insbesondere deswegen zugelegt, da ich den Autor Paul Auster sehr schätze, und auf das musikalische Debut seiner Tochter sehr gespannt gewesen bin. Aus Interviews mit Sophie Auster geht hervor, dass sie schon in frühester Kindheit gerne gesungen hat, und somit eine künstlerische Karriere als Sängerin hiermit möglich scheint. Auch schauspielerisch hat sie erste Schritte gesetzt. Möglicherweise hören und sehen wir in Zukunft also einiges von ihr. Was nun, um auf die Hauptsache zurückzukommen, ihren musikalischen Einstand betrifft, so ist ihr nur zu gratulieren. Sie hat eine sehr einprägsame, variable Stimme, die wunderbar kongenial die Kompositionen mehr als nur begleitet. Das Besondere an diesem Projekt ist nicht nur, wie es zustande gekommen ist, sondern zudem, dass es textuell unglaublich stark, und von der Ausprägung weitgestreut, und somit überhaupt kein Einheitsbrei ist, wie es den „Konsumenten“ meist zugebilligt wird. Jeder Song ist eine Welt für sich möchte ich fast pathetisch ausrufen. Zwar habe ich freilich Lieblingsstücke, zu denen etwa der allererste Song „The last poem“ gehört (hat für mich die Qualität, ein absoluter „Hit“ zu sein!), aber ich finde insbesondere die Zusammenstellung und die erstaunliche Vielfalt der Kompositionen hervorhebenswert.

Was der Sache freilich noch einen zusätzlichen Reiz gibt, ist die Mitwirkung von Paul Auster, der drei Texte beigesteuert hat. Sophie Auster zeichnet für zwei Texte verantwortlich. Eine rundum gelungene Produktion, die beim mehrfachen Anhören noch an Substanz gewinnt. Eine fröhliche, und (dennoch) tiefsinnige Reise in eine musikalische Welt, die nicht nur kompositorisch die Ohren verwöhnt, sondern zudem ausgezeichnete lyrische Texte vermittelt.

ポール・オースターの長女ソフィー・オースターの1st アルバム。

作品全体の雰囲気は、シェリル・クロウの「Tuesday Night Music Club」を
連想させる「手作りの感触」。

ケロケロした若い歌声は時としてスラップ・ハッピーのダグマー・クラウゼを
思わせる。

録音はスタジオ・ライブ風。あまりあれこれ手を加えていない。
今風の音ではないが、いつの時代にも通用する歌と演奏である。

彼女の父親であるポール・オースターは、あるエッセイの中で彼女の歌声の素晴らしさに
言及したのみならず、映画「マーティン・フロストの内的生活」に俳優として出演させ、
劇中で歌まで披露させた。

One Ring Zeroという名のユニット(不詳)が演奏を担当しているが、管楽器・
テルミン(おそらく)・打楽器・アコーディオンなどを用いた音響の演出が素晴らしい。

歌にアメリカとヨーロッパの不思議な出会いが感じられるのは、
やはり両親の出自・背景からの影響によるものだろうか。

今後の成長・発展が楽しみである。
