So long without an update, But I just wanted to make a big collection of information and goodies to make a big updated instead various unnoticed small ones.C-rouge’s Eternity Gives us New Stuff
The Latest album from C-rouge is another succesful work, but it also is a brand new “flavor of sound”. Yeah, You may be thinking that this review is a little late, taking in accout that “Eternity” was released at the end of the last year, but i have 2 strong reasons to do it this way: the first one is that I always listen an album many times to make an OK review. The second reason is that i could buy it only a few months ago, so... er... yes, I’m a poor fan, so I can only buy mp3’s from iTunes.
The first thing I want to “stick out” is the cover. The mix betwee Green and the crude pale yellow flowers with the small touches of red is a perfect copmbination. It can be a good start for a nwe fashion trend. The Main picture on the cover is a little abstract. I can see a lot of shapes like hearts and butterflies but the meaning is a little abstract to my own undertand, so please let go to the Music, YEAHHHHHHH!
1. Dle Yaman (Feat. Shake Baghdassarian). The first track, released as a single and the chosen to be the first video clip from our hero. The Album wellcomes us with a familiar vibe, I mean, a familiar sound. You are now sure that is C-rouge (If you believed that the new album had changed C’s Style you were wrong), The Style is here and yet is kinda new. But there’s something more and is delicious: Is the vocal power of Shake Baghdassarian. This track is one of my favorites because Shake’s voice that gives to the song a certain “Epic” (and even a “Mythic”) touch. This makes me think that this is gonna be a legendary song. Hard Beats mixed with those calmed interludes together just make a perfect combination. Surely this is a great follower of “Groong”.
2. Confessions (Ft. Sonya Varoujian). This song is a good example of the new “flavor of sound” of C-rouge’s style. This track shows a stronger influence of the European Electronic music. There’s no mistake: is C-rouge, but is something new and is great. Anyway, the catchy Armenian influence is still there. C-rouge is amazing creating those “Chilled” interludes and this track has one of the most beautiful ones. Sonya’s voice, of course, is amazing too, She gives both: agressive and “cheer-up” vibes to the song.
3. Child From Heaven feat. Nayira Baghdassarian. For many this is the best song of the album overall. The mixes made by C-rouge feel infinitely superior in this song. The voice of the little cute princess Nayira gives to the song an innocent vibe wich is simply catchy when you put it together with the song. Here, another smartly mixed “Chilled Interlude” but this time I could feel a strong influence from the European trance music. You can’t stop dancing with this song. We the fans, could have an special radio edit of the song and it was great, but the Album Version is much more bettter.
4. Eternity Ft. Hagop Keloukian – Duduk. Armenian Style is in the House, this song is other of my favorites because it reminds me a lot of “Groong”. In my opinion this is one of the songs in the whole album tha reflects more strongly the style of “GenoTrancide”. C-rouge wants to bring back to our minds the sweet escent of his First Best Seller.
5. Whale Cry. This song is the “up-beat” ingredient of the album. Only one word can come to my mind when I listen It. PARTY. A Crazy party ‘till 5:00 a.m. At the begining of the song I felt it purely electronic but As the son reached the interlude that i like so much the song has gained more and more “C-rouge” influence. The tradicional “beat” of the Armenian influence feel a little modernized this time, but is beacause of the tempo of the song wich is a little bit (So different from “Groong”, eh?).
6. Redemption. Wow, That intro feels like those Ibiza’s crazy parties, but with a very spicie aditional ingredient: C-rouge’s beat. Anyway, i feel this track a little bit more universal than the others in the Album. I may be wrong but i feel that this song has a weaker influence of Armenian tradicional Music, but is still great.
7. Goodnight Beirut Ft. Marcie. Those beats in the introduction of the song are so cool. I enjoyed a lot the way that the song grows stronger and stronger and you feel the power of the sound growing... Trance is in the House but, oh Surprise, Marcie’s voice appears and the song gets much better. Traditional style has a stronger inlfuence, but just at the same level of the Electronic and Trance style.
8. Prayer Ft. Tarek Sidani. WOW! English Lyrics! This is much better than I tough. The first thing you notice is Tarek Sidani’s vocal performance. Tarek’s male voice sounds great, but in this albums there’s something that makes it Unique: It’s the only male voice in the album, so it has its very own shine. The song is kinda relaxed at some points, and those “funky” beats.
9. Awaken. This song feels so new too. There’s a certain feel of this song that reminds me “Fallen City”. I think this song it’s a little bit melodramatic, but I can also feel like it’s sending us a Message like “Warrior’s Dream” did. In my Opinion, this song commemorates “The Events”. The Outro is my favorite part of the song, those sounds are just like Heaven.
10. Whale Cry (DJ Beavis Remix). The Intro part is SO COOL. No words to describe it. DJ Beavis made a great work mixing this song. He took the “Ferry Corsten” and the “Armin van Buurenn” style and gave it a soft twist that can be felt like’s DJ Beavis’(s) brand. DJ Beavis remixed a song from “C”, but you can feel the difference between each DJ.
