Album Review: Eliza Doolittle - In Your Hands

The songstress powers through these tracks effortlessly and she knows her strengths. But the album also sounds like something we’ve already heard.



Eliza Doolittle has a way of making heartbreak and pain sound joyous and sweet without even trying. This is evident again on her second album, In Your Hands. There are hints of R&B on opener Waste Of Time, anthem Team Player, and the playfully dismissive Make Up Sex. Hush is the perfect pop gem, while it's easy to see why Big When I Was Little was the first single – it's delightful. The songstress powers through these tracks effortlessly and she knows her strengths. But the album also sounds like something we've already heard. Easy-listening for summer.
