Bertine Zetlitz: So Beautiful
After the sleek refined pop of albums four and five, discovering Bertine Zetlitz’s first three albums is quite a surprising journey. Collectively they embody fluid, confident, leftfield music, with lyrical chops that expose Bertine as a fine songwriter first, a pop singer second. In my head at least, a sometimes scary hybrid of Jane Siberry and Bjork.
So Beautiful appears on her third album, Sweet Injections. Beginning with IDM-style crushed drums and whispered vocals, she implores “Listen to this: sometimes things don’t turn out the way they should, the way you thought they would.”
