 Cibo MattoViva! La Woman Release Date 1996 01 16 Label Warner Bros. Rating:  Fresh and funky, female and Japanese, the trip-hop/rap duo Cibo Matto has been the recipient of a lot of hype. Fortunately, it's well-founded; all trendiness aside, Viva! La Woman is an innovative and catchy mix of eclectic samples and stream-of-consciousness lyrics. The likes of Paul Weller, Ennio Morricone, and Duke Ellington combine with observations like "My weight is three hundred pounds/My favorite is beef jerky" (from &"Beef Jerky") and "Shut up and eat! You know my love is sweet!" from (&"Birthday Cake") in a fun and refreshing way. The tone of the album varies with each song; on tracks like &"Sugar Water" and &"Artichoke," Cibo Matto plays it spooky and ethereal, while &"Birthday Cake" and the single &"Know Your Chicken" find them as a couple of cryptic Beastie Girls, tossing off wacky non sequiturs over found soundscapes. Cibo Matto cooks up a tasty appetizer of their talent with Viva! La Woman. Like their tongue-in-cheek cover of &"The Candy Man," Cibo Matto makes everything they bake satisfying and delicious. A diverse and entertaining album, Viva! La Woman leaves the listener hungry for more of their crazy food for thought. Heather Phares, All Music Guide |
