Better late than never
Lisa Mikovsky – Still Alive – promo more or less commissioned by EA for Mirror’s Edge.
It may well be the best thing about the game all told, though like the game, as awesome as the music is, the lyrics are well, ordinary.
That’s being kind.
The clip itself is quite ordinary also, though the rooftops of metropolitan Sweden look nice.
Nevertheless! I love me some epic production. Massive reverbs, great mix, awesome overall texturing including Lisa’s voice.
I love getting into things late. Way later than when they’re popular. Perhaps it’s a way of me seeing whether they stand the test of time, and evaluating or experiencing something totally independent of any cultural movement. Often years later I’ll get into a pop-song such as this or something by Madonna or Kylie, but it’s nice to know that they’re good for what they are. Some, like this track, just ooze high-level production, and I usually get into it.
You’re right about her voice, there is something about it.
