Jintara Poonlarp Reviews

Born in 1971, Jintara is the biggest star of mor lam, although she also records a substantial amount of luk tung and some string. Each in her current series of albums is entitled luk tung sa on or mor lam sa on, according to which genre is dominant.

Sao Tung Dawkjaan
*****
Sao Tung Dawkjaan is for the most part disappointing, most of the tracks being uninspired and undistinctive. However while none of the songs are essential listening, there are a few which partially redeem the album. cover
Mor Lam Sa On 13
*****
Mor Lam Sa On 13 contains some much more engaging material than Jintara's last couple of albums, although all of the best songs are covers of earlier works recorded by Honey, Jintara or both. Despite the lack of originality, the album as a whole is an enjoyable look back at an earlier age which is too often overlooked in the frenetic pace of new releases. cover
Mor Lam Sa On 12
*****
Jintara has spent the last three years steadily sliding into mediocrity. Mor Lam Sa On 12 is no dramatic return to form, but there are enough flashes of her talent here to give some hope for future releases. cover
Luk Tung Sa On 11
*****
Luk Tung Sa On 11 is on the whole disappointing, with more similarities to the pop-influenced luk tung of some of Jintara's first series albums than to her more recent work... cover
Mor Lam Sa On 8
*****
The first track, Ruplaw Lai Mia, sets the tone for the whole album: this is lam at its most light-hearted and Jintara in full faux-naif mode, all side-long glances and awkward wiggles... cover
