Smith & Jones - Something Worth Learning (2019)

In an idyllic world, SOMETHING WORTH LEARNING, would be the best selling album of the year in the whole world. That lp that as we all used to have at home, since we would like the grandmother and the granddaughter, the father and the daughter, the boyfriend and girlfriend, the gardener and the engineer ... That in an idyllic world ... but, why can not we build it ?, I say. SMITH AND JONES have built that album with those songs that unite generations, people and intellects. And is that these two girls have achieved the almost impossible: the perfect pop album. Yes, the one that unites everyone as in his day was the Rumors, Tapestry, 21, Come on Over, ... lps billionaires who jumped adobe barriers to enter homes and in the end despite reluctance became what I call discs of home, those that endure in memory for matching moments and people.

Just sound the initial chords of songs like SECONDHAND HEART or AS I AM; jumpy and catchy pop songs armed on the basis of refrains of classics like Carole King or Laura Nyro to fill the air of harmony. Those delicious vocal games played by the piano, submitted to one of the best musical arrangements of this century found in that masterpiece that is RUNAWAY, can only awaken happiness, while ballads such as ONE LAST TIME, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT o.LONG LIVE DARKNEST, the latter as Fleetwood Mac, only transmit beauty as if it were a Victorian garden. Magnificent folk compositions that range from spring color tones in RUNNING FROM SOMETHING, to the discovery of knowing oneself in love in LAST NIGHT I SAW JESUS, or the country road and blanket in THE TRAIN SONG and an essential joyful spirit EVERY YEAR, AROUND THIS to rhythm of country rock complete this album of songs with capital letters.
