The Courier (1997)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Cinnamon; Genre: Pop

This debut from Swedish duo Cinnamon melds gauzy guitars, samba-soaked synthesizers, jazzy vibraphones, and Frida Diesen's melody-melting voice into a beguiling package that transcends the cliched banality of so much latter-day lounge pop. The Courier's best track: ''Heavenly Option,'' which shimmers its way into your memory bank with all the understated ease of ''The Girl From Ipanema.'' B
