The West Australian SIMON COLLINS
Mama Kin – Beat and Holler – Independent *** 1/2
First single Tore My Heart Out, an enchanting piano ballad reminiscent of Aimee Mann, dashed all expectation that this would be a vanity project for Mama Kin, aka Danielle Caruana, aka Ms John Butler. Besides being totally unfair, all comparisons to her husband are totally irrelevant on a highly impressive, soulful outing channelling the Maltese-Australian singer and pianist’s Latin passion and feminine power.
The high- spirited It’s For Me explains why Caruana, sick of being “the one who always sits firmly in the corner”, decided to launch a pop career. Equally feisty are songs such as On My Way and I’m Gonna Do It – both recall Fiona Apple – while her sultry vocals seem influenced by Billie Holiday and Nina Simone.
