Review: Charlotte Bash's "Princess Game"

Lush and shiny flare in the collection of her music's bubbling 90s' Pop that in fact also contains an EDM firecracker of tracks. By borrowing live instrumentation, Princess Game's sincere blend of classical music appreciation shows. 

Universally appealing and unique, all at once, the indie style of dance-pop music jams from Bash, a professional classical singing background, tracks like the waves in "Impossible Dream", the slow burning, operatic tone shows her best factor, artistically and with great talent, by incorporating more piano work, even though some tracks on the record, needs more balanced adjustment with its quality of production, and seems sometimes suffocating, with the natural live instrumentation.  

More solid, band oriented tracks like the closing track, "Back Again" do stand out more then some of the techno side of the flow in the album’s flavor. The track "Down" featuring a cooling men's choir while Bash simultaneously and effortlessly rocks her immediate and powerful vocal range with a killer drum beat behind it: 
"Money makes the world go 'round/ Money's gonna break us down/  Everybody wants to claim us down/ But we took it too far/ I think we're going down/  "down, down, down, I think we are going down" 

Even if the verses seem to repeat itself, the upfront and riding piano makes up for one of the best highlights in the album. 

With a lively quest spot by Anye Elite, an alternative mix of songwriting, even in the likes of Madonna, with "Love In The Real World", which dominates the synth hitting cut. 

Charlotte Bash was raised in Indiana and is now residing in Los Angeles. In college, she became a classically trained soprano singer. But when she digs in her personal music, Charlotte Bash stirs in a mix blend of Elle Goulding, especially in the album's opening track "Leave" with its undeniably catchy, Ace Of Base style and chord progression.  Only more modern and toned down with its "Phantom of the Opera' mask in the record's deep switch between dance-pop and operatic, piano driven theatricals. Displaying various bittersweet themed songs:
“If you cut me I won't bleed/ I won't cry won't let you see/Gonna give you count to three/You better leave/ Take back your promises and leave/ All of those lies you said to me/I'm gonna give you count to three“.

Tracks like “Siren”, about signaling something lost, while warning from fear and wishful thinking. While a pulsing heartbeat in the likes of “Summertime Sadness” takes over the energetic track. But, at the same time, chilled hand plucked string accompaniment, truly brings the track back to a grounded stable layout. 

If you miss Lady Gaga (circa 2009), then Charlotte bash's debut is your itching fix, without a doubt. Charlotte Bash relishes in bright art pop, and it works. 

“If you cut me I won't bleed/ I won't cry won't let you see/Gonna give you count to three/You better leave/ Take back your promises and leave/ All of those lies you said to me/I'm gonna give you count to three“
 
"Money makes the world go 'round/ Money's gonna break us down/  Everybody wants to claim us down/ But we took it too far/ I think we're going down/  "down, down, down, I think we are going down"
