Review – Christine Toseski “Second Skin”
single through PK Music
Those of you who
are still watching Home & Away will be familiar with The
Robertson Brothers who sing the opening theme song. They are
label-mates for a young fifteen year-old who, since the age of 11, has been
doing big things on the talent-quest circuit. Here, on her new single “Second Skin,” she shows how she has been
placing and winning in these comps.
Paul
Kneipp has brought Christine out as a remarkably mature woman with
this song. Second
Skin is a bright and poppy track from a young girl with a remarkably
strong voice, but I’m not sure that the subject nature is befitting one of such
an age: it tends to lack sincerity or life-experience… like a covers-artist
mouthing the words to that oft-heard Classic Hit.
And
speaking of which, Phil Collins’ Take
A Look At Me Now (Against All Odds) was chosen as the
backing-track to this single, with two other remixes of the lead track. But age
should never be a barrier… I mean, look at Leanne Rhymes! I’m sure that once you
get over the fact that you’re listening to a 15 year old (who was actually 14
in the studio) you appreciate the bright and healthy future this lady has,
beyond the Vegas Lounges and talent quests.
