Menage a Deux’s strong debut album, “Falling Down,” is a refreshing assembly of country pop/easy listening tunes. Kicking off with the passionate “Running from the Rain,” Menage a Deux immediately shows one of their many strong influences: country music. Continuing this diversity is the Latin-flavored “Almost Feels Like Love.” Throughout the changing musical flavors, one thing remains the same: strong, beautiful vocals. “Better Place” shows off these soothing vocals while demonstrating the masterful instrumentation present on every track. Lyrically, “Falling Down” is very inspiring, focusing mainly on deep, genuine love and introspection. Moreover, this record flaunts outstanding production characterized by clarity and quality. If you enjoy pop that bears a wide range of influences, you’ll fall head-over-heals for Menage a Deux!
