Superbeautifulmonster
The hard rockin', tough talkin' Bif Naked returns with Superbeautifulmonster, a solid stream of catchy tracks made even better by her super-strong vocals. Opening with the primal "Abandonment", her fourth full-length studio release immediately shows that the classic Bif trademarks of deeply personal lyrics sung to a forceful melody are still very much in place. Bif Naked fans tend to fit into two categories: those who like her pop hits ("Daddy's Getting Married," "Spaceman") and the metalheads who like to see her rawk out. Her current CD contains enough diversity to please pop and R&B audiences, however fans of her harder music will be especially pleased with the guitar-driven rock. The disc's first single, the Sum 41-esque "Let Down" is a whimsical tale of a perpetual family failure, while the contemplative "Everyday" is a story of gratitude destined to be a lighter-in-the-air hit at her live show. The only cover tune on the disc proves to be a great surpise: the Metallica classic "Nothing Else Matters" which Bif handles with grace and strength. Before Gwen Stefani became a household name, before Amy Lee showcased her powerhouse lungs, Bif Naked proved unequivocally that alterna-rock women can tackle tough subjects bravely. She's dealt with everything from rape to abortion to abuse--all set to great, harder-edged music. Superbeautifulmonster proves that she hasn't lost her touch, only gained experience and momentum. --Denise Sheppard
