Drive was released when I was in my late teens, and at the time I had little use for the ubiquitous songs from the album, like ‘Sway’ and ‘Suddenly Strange’ – they lope along with stripped back arrangements, a low key rhythm section and prominent lead guitar. Even now I find them monotonous, while Runga’s melodies and vocals are pretty, the songs feel caught in limbo; with Runga’s mannered vocals they feel too slick to communicate emotion, but not dynamic enough to be interesting.
Your feedback for Drive
A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
