"There are occasional outbreaks of heartbeats of distant percussion which add some more colour"




Often built over warm rippling piano, the warm rippling voice of the former Cameras singer beckons you in, but surprisingly offers something a bit more and different than the perhaps expected intimate internal monologues. Rough Side Of Town and the ebb and flow of Disguise have feeling, and a poetic lilt to them where the music carries the words. There are occasional outbreaks of heartbeats of distant percussion which add some more colour, but it mostly comes back – as it should – to her rich voice, confident enough to sometime question its own words.
