4.0 out of 5 stars Darker, but still quite mainstream, 6 Jun 2007
By Brida "izumi" (Worcs) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Before buying this album, I had heard her other album, WHAT IF IT ALL MEANS SOMETHING. Although it was quite good, it was not one that grabbed my attention; the songs never really found a way into my head or heart when I wasn't listening to it. When I heard that Chantal had released a new album, and that it was meant to be darker and more experimental than her previous releases, I was quite eager to hear it and so judge for myself.
Having now had it for a few days, I have to say I do prefer GHOST STORIES to WHAT IF IT ALL MEANS SOMETHING.

The opening track, "Ghosts of You" is a very sentimental, personal song, about a friend of hers who has passed away. It is really a lament about loss, and imploring the deceased not to go, as the ghosts of you are all that she has to get her through the day. Although this could have been a very morbid, depressing song, it actually isn't. The memories she includes within the song help to make it a song that rejoices their friendship, as well as lamenting her death.
"All I Can Do" is your typical love song. It is basically a message to your loved one that, all anyone can do is love the other person to pieces and be there for them when they need it. This is a lovely uptempo song, one that is very easy to sing along to.
"Spoke in Tongues" is the third track, and perhaps one of the strangest. Again, there is an uptempo beat to this song. This belies the lyrics - the very beginning few sentences of the song show that the person who it is about is not well liked - they are claimed to want to 'destroy'. I have mixed feelings about this song. In ways, I like it for its experimentation, but I'm not very keen on the words for the chorus; they seem a bit childish. The music is lovely though.
"Mad About You" slows down the pace again. It is another token love song. Not that that is a bad thing - the music is brilliant and the track shows another side to Chantal's voice.
"Wonderful" is perhaps one of my favourite songs from the album. It is a fast paced song, which just begs for you to sing along to it. The chorus is brilliant - sing along and it can't fail to give you a little bit of confidence!
After the energy of "Wonderful", "Asylum" brings down the mood again. The opening of this track is very smobre - even Chantal's voice betrays vulnerability and pain. The lyrics are more imagined - by this I mean that, rather than a straightforward linear progression, the lyrics make this song more symbolic or metaphorical. This is another of the tracks that I feel could be classed as 'experimental'. It is perhaps one of the better songs - it suggests just the potential that is still within Chantal's talents.
Finally, I shall comment on "Time", my favourite song from the album. This song appears on her previous album, WHAT IF IT ALL MEANS SOMETHING. The music is fab. From the very beginning, you are drawn into the song. One thing that did strike me whilst listening to this song was how much it reminded me of Miuchelle Branch. As Chantal has helped to write songs for her, perhaps she has done something similar, and so it is ringing bells for me. Regardless of that though, it doesn't take anything away from "Time". Chantal's voice is just superb - like Tori Amos, on this track, Chantal draws out certain words to great effect. The track builds energy as it goes; I defy anyone not to sing to this!

GHOST STORIES is definitely 'darker' than the other release I have heard, but regardless of that, it is still quite mainstream. It has helped to make me decide to look out for her future releases though - perhaps this is the start of even greater things to come, with her next album being even more experimental.
All in all, a great release. Give it a few listens, and I'm sure it will grow on you.

5.0 out of 5 stars get to know chantal, 28 Sep 2007
By Bj Lucas "saculnamron" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I love this album, the songs are perhaps very simple but therein lies their beauty. Quirky, simple, beautiful is how I would describe chantals's style, especially on this album. My favourite song is 'all I can do' such an endearing number. 'Gohsts of you' comes a close second, but, form start to finish it's an amazing album. So simple, almost childlike.
