The album Not Going Anywhere was produced by Benjamin Biolay, one of France’s most acclaimed creative talents. Some say Keren Ann’s music makes perfect background sound for cafés around the world — and that’s certainly true. Yet to me, such elegantly minimalist and restrained beauty seems even better suited for private listening. It lightens and beautifies life itself: “I try not to remember, rather than force myself to forget.” It allows us to step away from obsession and restlessness, staying still amid the ebb and flow of people and time — “Not Going Anywhere.”
Life is neither in the banality of here nor in the illusion of elsewhere — it resides in the heart. The feeling recalls the first time I heard Sparklehorse sing, “I want to be a horse, filled with a flame that never spreads.”
Keren Ann’s Not Going Anywhere is sweet, pure, melancholy, and dreamlike. Everything beyond its music feels abstract — and the more abstract it becomes, the more irresistible it is. There are emotions too fleeting to grasp, like reflections that vanish the moment you reach for them. Just as the eye sees the moon in the water or flowers in a mirror — beautiful, tangible, yet forever out of reach.
