Felicia

'Image Language’ is a stunning album that dips fourth-world MIDI oddness into silvery pools of cinematic intrigue, juxtaposing dislocated poetry with disorienting jazz and electronics that belong alongside works by Bohren & der Club of Gore, Robert Ashley, Christina Vantzou, David Toop and Colleen.

Felicia Sanders was a singer, and the most successful song she ever recorded was a theme song from a movie of the same title, A Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart) in which she was recruited by Percy Faith to sing, and was only paid scale.

Back then, in 2004, she was a hotshot – an exciting new voice on the scene, with endless promise and plenty of talent to spare – but then she sort of disappeared. But Read My Lips couldn't communicate its key message any more clearly – Adams is back, big time, and she's only grown stronger with every passing year, as a singer and as an independent woman. And for that reason, among others, there's much to like about this album.
