Ringo Shiina is prone to experimentation, but on Superficial Gossip she decided to stick to what she does best -- crooning and screaming her way through a set of pop-jazz numbers. This worked well chart-wise and produced some interesting tunes, but the record still has some flaws that lessen its fun factor. Shiina goes for a straightforward retro feel -- for the most part, Superficial Gossip is pre-Elvis music, the kind of stuff heard in those black-and-white Hollywood musicals or Ella Fitzgerald records, dominated by brass, sax, acoustic bass, and old-fashioned keyboards rather than guitars and drum loops, although some of those make their way discreetly into the background. The problem here is not a return-to-the-past approach itself, but the way it's executed: the songs are just too crammed full. On one hand, Shiina tries to stick to melodic fare fit for a restaurant show or an '50s New Year's television special, but on the other, she's taking the "jazz" part seriously, and so there's a lot going on between instruments, which seem trapped in the 4/4 rhythm, but do their best to make up for it. Shiina herself overdoes things quite often as well -- she's got a good vocal range, but when she goes all out, she sounds shrill and even grating, and she goes all out a lot. In the end, the music is neither loungey enough to relax and drift with it, nor adventurous enough to really thrill the audience; the result isn't bad, but is something of an acquired taste. An additional saving grace is found in the detours -- Shiina is too restless to stick to one style throughout, and so she does some techno and rock numbers just to stir things up. Those aren't perfect, either -- try listening to the vocals in "Sharp Practice" without a "huh?" or a snort -- but, strangely, they sound more restrained and focused than the "mainstream" part of the record.
