Machan - Motion of Love
- Machan’s “Motion of Love” is filled with pop-like jazz tunes from an artist who has a broad background in the musical arts. This Eurasian singing sensation studied jazz and vocal performance at William Patterson College and has shared the stage with greats such as Pink Floyd and George Benson. Her soft voice will soothe listeners and allow them to just kick back and relax.
The title track has sweet vocal scatting from Machan alongside fanciful percussion play. Yet, the song talks about the two-faced conduct of Machan’s lover. “First you loved me hot and then you loved me cold. You’re beauty and the beast…One day to the next…Learning how to love…Up and down, I’m dizzy…So kiss clouds. Smiles to frowns. As we merry-go-round. So goes the motion of love.”
“Beautifully Broken” begins with acoustic guitar play that is surrounded by quiet drum work, which sinfully melds into each other. The track has a whimsical touch to it that might be aided by a synthesizer. Machan describes a certain male with lines like, “Mysterious…All this beauty captured…Physically shaken but never stirred…I see the way he plays with them and I know I got to know his name cuz he’s so beautifully broken. Shaped by the wind.” This song’s pace is so smooth that it could be featured in one of the movies featuring debonair secret agent James Bond.
On “Vulnerable” listeners will be delighted to hear more acoustic guitar strumming as Machan goes on about being emotionally exposed. “You break down the walls with no force at all. And I don’t know how you do it. You know just what to say, to melt my fears away. Rendering me silent.” It seems she is singing about a man who she has fallen in love with and who has also been able to shred the walls she placed around her heart and made her able to feel again. It’s a sweet song and one that a man can play for a woman to show how devoted he is to her.
“Motion of Love,” from Machan, is a record of gentle melodies that will stroke the souls of its listeners. Her delicate crooning is infused with a softness that listeners will be intrigued by. Each song has its own suave pace and will take in listeners with its charming tones and emotions.
