This is one of
those singles that will either have you swearing total heartfelt approval -
prior to a lifetime's undying devotion boring the pants of anyone who will listen
about your 'precious secret' - or have you heading queasily for the bin marked
'unbearably twee.' There is unlikely to be any middle ground. For it's a fact
of life that one person's ambient is another's wallpaper.
With phrasing that
is gentle childlike innocence personified, the angelic fragility that is 'Guilty'
sweeps into an Orinoco flow of a chorus… Enya can't help but complain about
that. Lithuanian exile Gintare is charged guilty as plaintive. Although not
wanting to be too Hague about this, there is definitely something of the Tori
in her - except here we're talking the politics of taste. She's got enigmatic;
she's got wacky; she's got highly strung; and she's got weird - but she's not
quite got the hang of wonderful yet. But hang on… the Francois Kevorkian
and Patrick Pulsinger dance mixes of 'Guilty' give her sound less of the
flighty intrigue, and a lot more balls. Makes you want to stick around for the
rest of her sentence.
