Having inclined towards the open performing forms and courses, on this album Tamara further explores some earlier attempts related to the spiritual and musical inspiration found in her native Istria. After three marvelous albums, her new album shows an even more subtle coexistence of complex performing and vocal forms with a pronounced personal touch.
All fades away is a rich sound book characterized by brilliant musicians and a support among each other, frequent improvisations and skillful playing abounding in minute details, which complements Tamara's voice perfectly. Her voice, which is equally impressive both when she sings lyrics and performs a vocalize, thus turning it into an additional instrument, and a powerful interaction between the musicians (dominated by a great pleasure of playing), make the album All fades away display great ease among other hardly light musical forms.
In fact, this is a convenient combination of talent, self-control, taste and art which gives prominence to the personal poetics of Tamara Obrovac on the album, rather than strictly following forms of jazz, ethno music and other genres.
In other words, this is a specific quality rarely found in such an efficient combination, a unique kind of music, especially at concert performances bursting with personal poetics, emotions, spirit, communication, skilfull playing and human symbiosis...
