It’s all about me, me, me! And with The Me Shell, a play on words by Michelle Dumond, her audience becomes enlightened with revolutionary lullabies. On initial glance, the CD case looks better fitted for a promotional gift from The Body Shop. This unassuming songstress (and her oceanic inspired packaging) quietly slips under the radar of overly rock-obsessed and often obnoxious wailings most prominent in the Independent Music industry. Immediately, I was struck by Dumond’s honey-infused vocals and associated her with the likes of Fiona Apple and Aimee Mann. Then I read Dumond’s promotional information and was also informed that her vocals aspire in sound to Norah Jones, Sarah Slean, Jane Siberry, and Amanda Marshall.
I was initially unimpressed, as the first song “Humanity” has abrasive moments to it, but soon after I became absorbed in Dumond’s world of revolutionary lullabies. Some songs have an essence of good old fashioned rock and roll to them, and sometimes the songs are reminiscent of sitting on a rocking chair and leaning back into a summer’s breeze. Of all the songs, possibly the most enjoyable is “Sandra”, a catchy, whimsical piece, perfectly suited to Dumond’s vocals.
The Me Shell is filled with interesting lyrics and thoughtful storytelling, but it is Dumond’s vocals, which are sassy, confident and subtly strong, that will lull you to sleep amidst thoughts of enlightening revolutions.
