Reviews

Mojo (Publisher) (12/03, p.113) – 4 stars out of 5 – “Faris Nourallah’s knack of turning out classically-styled pop gems is undiminished with PROBLEMATICO.”

Babysue 2003 (Rating: 6/6) "Farris Nourallah is a one man band...writing, playing, and recording Problematico almost entirely by himself (the only exception being backing vocals on track nine provided by Amy Kneppenberg). Nourallah plays a melodic yet subdued brand of low fidelity pop that sounds not unlike The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society album. What first stands out about Problematico is that Nourallah uses traditional instruments almost exclusively...which gives the album a wonderful warmth and genuine sound that is in stark contrast to many modern computer driven solo projects. His vocals are particularly appealing...very restrained, never forced...with overdubbed harmonies that are virtually perfect. These tunes feature absolutely absorbing and beautiful melodies that slowly sink into the listener's subconscious and take up permanent residence. The lyrics are personal and introspective...offering a glimpse into how this man's mind works. This is an excellent fifteen tune collection...featuring extraordinarily meaty nuggets like "You've Got It Made," "Problematico," "Moscow In The Morning," "I Know Your Name," and "Adieu." Easily one of the best pop releases of 2003. Instantly memorable.
