louise goffin two different movies

​Louise Goffin (from the album Two Different Movies available on Majority of One Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
 
Louise Goffin has set her own pace when it comes to her musical outings. The child of songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King has played it close to her chest, releasing ten records over the course of a forty-year career that kicked off when Louise was a spry sixteen. A laidback release schedule and her own pace has been an advantage, her latest release Two Different Movies reveals patience, with few wasted moments or wasted tunes, a ten-track release of breezy Pop and throwback light Rock. “Simple Life” opens Two Different Movies with road trip ambitions, a bouncy piano cut featuring Lounge-noir leanings where Louise Goffin looks for a partner to ‘get out of town before we snap’. “Rattle and the Roll” is a train tune with slight Country Blues punch, while “Heart Attack” is driven by a guitar riff ripe for sampling.
 
Louise Goffin slows things down in the middle the album, with both “Oh My God” and “Made to Be Good” piano ballads, the latter a theatrical duet. She then steps to her 1970’s L.A. upbringings with “The Heart Is The Last Frontier”, the title track nodding to dark, afterhours club piano Jazz while “It Started a Long Time Ago”, with its fluxing steel guitar, is animated, Psychedelic-twang. Louise Goffin has dug into the memory banks to pull out sounds from her youth, doing so without a ride on parental coattails. Two Different Movies is serious when it wants to be, but the overall tone is bright and sunny, where Laurel Canyon inspiration kicks around with its own playful bounce.
