This week I got hold of Gina Gerson’s album called “In Search of Cleo“. If you didn’t know, the actress Gina Gershon is a singer too. But first of all, who is Cleo? Cleo is Gina Gershon’s lost cat. After searching the Internet I discovered that the cat was found after two months.

While listening to the album for the first time (during work), I thought is such a great album with a good vocal interpretation and a very clear soundtrack. But after listening it more and more I realized that “In Search of Cleo” fails in unity. I feel that there are too many genres, too many ideas. I like every single track, but I dislike the album as a whole. It’s a pity that Gina didn’t try to go more deeply with her legacy of jazz style, for which her voice is made! She loves singing, there is no doubt about that! But she should try to find her very own style, that makes the listener stay very close to the tracks, to find a way to give even more homogeneity between lyrics, soundtrack and her style of singing.

The lyrics taken as an individual part are great. The main theme is about a middle aged woman, who lost her… cat (try to find a synonym for cat), who speaks about her life experience in different moments of life. It may not be Gina’s life, but each song can be one woman’s experience.

“In Search of Cleo” is a must-have album. You’ll listen to it very rare, but you’ll feel the energy that Gina Gershons sends through her voice with every second. You can buy “In Seach of Cleo” here.
