"The opener, Going Out, confesses her shame as a romantic obsession hardens into brute determination; Dal Forno's tone of voice is unrepentantly chilling as she makes up her mind to acquire her target."
"The coolly funky Nighttime crackles with erotic potential, but other songs contain hurt and regret though again, it's not always mirrored by the music, which takes in naive twee-pop melodies, peppy coldwave and more."
"Careless, selfish, even cruel, she is also desperate, uncertain and bends towards tenderness and uses her vocal style to wrongfoot the listener, perhaps even herself, as to how she really feels."
Carla dal Forno's latest album, Confession, delves into the emotional complexities of a charged friendship. The opener, Going Out, features a New Order-inspired bass line and reveals a chilling determination in her romantic obsession. The title track juxtaposes deep feelings with a bright rhythm, while Nighttime exudes erotic potential. Other songs reflect hurt and regret, showcasing a range of musical styles. The four instrumentals, though less engaging, highlight Dal Forno's storytelling and vocal prowess, presenting a rich, sympathetic self-portrait filled with conflicting emotions.
