Milla is supermodel and actress Milla Jovovich, and 1994's
The Divine Comedy was her debut release. While it's now common for models and actors to try their hand at music, the good results of
The Divine Comedy are not as common. Produced by
Rupert Hine, the album is a low-key, laid-back affair featuring guest appearances by
Eric Bazilian and
Martha Davis. Milla has a pleasant voice and above-average songwriting ability, and the songs are organic, light, airy concoctions that work well in their understated settings. The jaunty, folk-inflected "Gentlemen Who Fell" was an alternative rock hit. Other noteworthy cuts include the otherworldly "The Alien Song (For Those Who Listen)" and the medieval "Charlie." ~ Tom Demalon
