{"product_id":"brooke-fraser-flags-cd","title":"Flags CD","description":"New Zealand native Brooke Fraser's literate lyrics and wistful melodic bent show an increasing maturity, while her sweet, slightly aching voice conveys fragility with great underlying strength.  Fraser moves beyond the introspection of 2006's \u003cem\u003eAlbertine\u003c\/em\u003e to paint more diverse portraits and scenes.  Her musical palette is rich and diverse - \u003ci\u003eJack Kerouac\u003c\/i\u003e percolates with Afrobeat guitar lines, providing contrast to the glistening arctic tones of \u003ci\u003eIce On Her Lashes.\u003c\/i\u003e  A rush of happiness animates \u003ci\u003eSomething In the Water\u003c\/i\u003e (a head-over-heels love tune) and \u003ci\u003eCoachella\u003c\/i\u003e (a buoyant celebration of unity through dance and music).  Love of a more complicated kind is explored in the tormented yet melodically graceful \u003ci\u003eWho Are We Fooling\u003c\/i\u003e (a duet with Aqualung's Matt Hales).  Fraser snatches hope out of pervasive darkness in \u003ci\u003eCrows \u0026amp; Locusts\u003c\/i\u003e and offers a character sketch of a lonely woman in \u003ci\u003eBetty.\u003c\/i\u003e  Her Christian outlook shines through in the moody, Daniel Lanois-like title tune. Taken in sum, \u003cem\u003eFlags\u003c\/em\u003e is an exceptionally intelligent, emotionally resonant work in the best singer\/songwriter tradition. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: October 12, 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Wood \u0026amp; Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 634457535626\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brooke Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772337793,"sku":"Brooke Fraser (2)","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Brooke_Fraser_Flags_CD.jpg?v=1772570688","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/brooke-fraser-flags-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
