Your Heart Won’t Sing To Me

Anna Calvi “Love of My Life”

Okay, I’m just going to say this first and get it out of the way: Wow, this sounds a lot like PJ Harvey. I don’t say this as a slight on Anna Calvi in any way. Sounding like PJ Harvey is an amazing thing, especially when it’s like Rid of Me/To Bring You My Love-era Polly, and you’ve utterly nailed that raw nerve guitar style, and mastered that sort of nearly-unhinged sexual hysteria. This is actually a little more manic than anything I can remember Polly ever doing – Calvi’s voice has a more desperate tone, and that blunt, pounding chorus is abrupt, like slamming into a wall that drops down out of nowhere.
