Hey folks, Valkor here with a musical treat that’s not only
a treat for the eyes, but also the ears. But especially the ears, but
ESPECIALLY the eyes. (Grrrr-rowl). This past week Krush and I got to rock out
with Cori Yarckin at this place called “The Snitch” over in NYC. The place was
a little cramped, but I’d squeeze myself into a phone booth with 50 people and
Superman in it just to see Cori Yarckin. Not only is she bold on stage, but
also very beautiful.
This wasn’t like the concert I attended back in Hoboken so many months
back, this was a concert to sample her second album unto the masses. I will say
that my feelings on the new stuff, is a mixed bag. On the one hand I enjoyed
the show. Hey Cori is a great entertainer and if she’s ever in your neck of the
woods, definitely go check her out, you will not be disappointed. And hangin
out in NYC we’re talking great music, good crowd, and the band was on point,
not missing one beat. However the songs, while still damn good, just don’t
compare much to the first album, which I enjoyed immensely. Songs like “Sucks
to be you” and “Daddy Don’t Know” are pretty solid rock songs and great in
their own right but will never compare to the greatness that is “Gratitude” and
“Better” (Two of my personal favs), though “One Day Too Late” is along those
lines and great little ballad. But this was only a taste of what’s to come and
I will reserve full on judgment until I can sample the entire album. Also what
I wanted from her performance this round was more of what we got in Hoboken. When she did
“Ballroom Blitz”, the freakin place went nuts. AAhhhhh now that was fun and so
unexpected. Ultimately I think the second album will be a hit and I look
forward to hearing what else is in store.
I’ll have a full CD review soon enough, but enjoy the pics
and vid clip from the show. I had a great time and look forward once again to
catching Cori at another performance. Also something I didn’t do last time, but
will make up for it this round. Cori Yarckin you are TOV’s “PerfectView”. Not
only are you gorgeous, but with a perfect body to round at that tight package,
you really embiggen (Nice Simpson’s reference) everything “PerfectView” is all
about.
