Pop music is a serious business these days with none of the flippancy that you might have found in the hits of yesteryear. This might well limit the placement of a modern day pop song in a fish fingers advert but these are serious times and “Poetry 1992” by Daniella Binyamin is definitely serious in matters of musical intent.
The lyrics do reflect the stylisations of the conventional singer songwriter with introspection, self-doubt and the all-important matters of the heart keeping Daniella Binyamin’s music company. She also uses the sequenced loop and swirling synthesisers approach to make her point and mark her music as that of the present but is also unafraid to take a rather more acoustic approach when needed with “Circles” perhaps providing the best example of her style.
Daniella Bunyamin would appear to be on the pulse of today and, with this EP, she establishes herself as someone rather more serious than your average coffee shop princess and as someone who perhaps has something worthwhile to say.
