Aaron Lee Tasjan, Feminine Walk
Let us sashay to take a walk on the wild side along with Aaron Lee Tasjan. His latest album,
Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan!, is his most true-to-himself offering so far. The song Feminine Walk spins an enigmatic sonic web that hints at Bowie and the Beatles, as he weaves in self-awareness and pride. Tasjan is here to represent, in both lyricism and musical vision, delivered with the whimsy of a sweet and salty spun confection.
