Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 from www.nowtoronto.com this weekNOW MAGAZINEDisc ReviewMaylee ToddChoose Your Own Adventure (Do Right!)By Benjamin BolesMixing music and comedy is a strange thing. Most of the time it doesn’t work: the jokes suffer from repeat listening, and it’s not easy to take silly songs seriously. Once in a while, though, someone brings it all together in a delightfully weird package, which is exactly what Toronto’s Maylee Todd has done on her wonderfully wacky debut album.Style-wise, she’s all over the place. There’s trippy, ethereal harp strumming, lilting bossa nova influences, cosmic jazz vibes, doo-wop references, uptempo soul grooves and chanting children, but somehow it all jells. The subject of a song like Aerobics In Space is definitely on the goofy side, but she delivers the tune with such giddy joy, you can’t help appreciating its ridiculous fun. It’s a lot easier to write deathly serious songs than to capture the spirit of light-hearted good times, but which would you rather listen to on a sunny summer afternoon?Top track: A Lullaby For My Fictitious ChildrenMaylee Todd plays the Piston Saturday (June 19) at midnight as part of NXNE.
