For any artist feeling the pressure to embark on their next work, it's always daunting to follow up an album like "Hearts for Bullets", which was so well-received by the fans who enjoyed its tight set of hit songs and their striking, in your face, minimal and dancefloor-ready feel. On this new CD, "Plastic Makes Perfect", Jennifer Parkin challenges herself once again and steps outside of the genres she's comfortable in, exploring more textures, denser production, more diverse songwriting and song structures.
This new album has songs that will work for your different moods. Listen to "Hunger" or "All That Glitters" when you’re angry, or sick of the world and feel beaten down or small. For club DJs, put on "Friends and Enemies" or even "The New Style of Riot" if you want an unrecognisable AYRIA track to play! If you're ready to sing along to electro-pop, listen to "Missed the Mark", the sexy "Games" or "Three Months". "Plastic Makes Perfect" reveals an array of genres: some electro-pop, some harder industrial or EBM, or whatever you want to call it, some guitars, even a moody ballad... But what strikes the most is that it displays an artist with more confidence, more fun, more maturity, but still some silliness and sexy-ness at times, the things that make AYRIA what she is all about!
Once again produced together with Sebastian R. Komor, the Canadian artist has explored the full spectrum of her moods, laid all her feelings out for you, and offered an honest and highly diversified, melodic album she can be very proud of...
