Ce qu'on peut dire c'est que c’est bien fait. Les lignes de basse post-punk et les synthés rétros se marient bien avec la voix de la chanteuse. Des références explicites sont faites entre autres à The Human League, Depeche Mode. Certains titres peuvent vous trotter dans la tête un bon moment comme All The Saint ou Keep You.
Au delà de ça, la musique est peut-être un peu galvaudée... On a le sentiment que tout est fait pour évoquer les années 80 au point de faire encore plus New Wave que certains tubes de l'époque... pas vraiment de révolution musicale donc et c'est bien dommage car il y a du potentiel!

We have talked a lot about Class Actress recently on the Web. In 2 days the first LP of the Diva, Rapprocher, well be out. Elizabeth Harper, her real name, is from Brooklyn and surfs on the 80's nostalgic wave that currently strikes for her music as well as for her aesthetic.
What we can say is that she does it well. The post-punk bass lines and retro synthesizers mix well with the nice voice of the singer. There are some obvious references to famous New Wave bands like The Human League and Depeche Mode. Some tracks can stay in your mind for a long time such as All the Saint or Keep You.
Beyond that, the music is a bit hackneyed... We have the feeling that everything is done to stick to the 80's and actually, it sounds even more New Wave that some songs of the period... There is no huge musical revolution here and this is a shame considering the potential of the girl!
