TWO SUNS is Natasha Khan's sophomore album, and the concept is a sense of duality.
"Two Suns revolves around Khan's "desert-born spiritual self" and her "destructive, self-absorbed, blonde femme fatale" alter-ego Pearl as it covers "the philosophy of the self and duality, examining the need for both chaos and balance, for both love and pain, in addition to touching on metaphysical ideas concerning the connections between all existence."" - www.allmusic.com
Listening to Khan reminds me of Bjork and Sarah McLachlan. The way she drags her notes and her use of nasals sound like the former, while the sensitivity and timbre in her voice reminds me of the latter. While never as brilliant as either, the strength of the album lies in its concept. Opening track is a good travelling song, but my favourite is actually her cover of Kings Of Leon' "Use Somebody". She gave that song a certain emotional immediacy that was slightly lacking in the original (it's probably her voice). While the album is not catchy and not one that you will put on repeat, what is admirable is the ambition and the use of a wide array of equipments in trying to create a emotional landscape.
A B- album. Not for everyone. Also nominated for a Mercury Prize.
