Composition

More diverse than their first two studio albums, musically more melodic and lyrically more direct, Beautiful Garbage featured contemporary hip hop fused with electronica, with influences coming from 1980s new wave to 1960s girl groups.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:

    The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.

    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.
    James Madison (1751–1836)
