The Austrian singer Meena began her career clearly recognizable with a dazzling role model: Janis Joplin. This influence can still be heard on her new album, but she now shows much more independence. Another positive aspect is production. Here we worked analogue, which had a strong effect on the warmth and naturalness of the music. Blues rock driven by a shuffle rhythm ("Take This Pressure Off Of Me"), acoustic blues/rock that gets under your skin ("Bring Me The Water", "You Don't Know", "You May Love Me Today") and thundering blues rock ("Enough Is Enough") - they all sound damn honest and authentic. "Tell Me" is already one of the best Blues records of the year.
