Album Review: Mo Kenney - Mo Kenney

Good gracious, what heavenly planet did this little lady with the big voice fall from? The sometimes brusque, often starkly gentle beauty of this pint-sized Canadian songstress's vocal is disarming enough, but coupled with capricious and razor-edged lyrics in Sucker is almost too much. Scene Of The Crime slices an already buzzing atmosphere with a dancehall, moody waltz, and The Great Escape meanders playfully around her girlish piping before turning up the heavy notch. It's a rare and delightful treat when something aligns to grant a treasure such as Kenney.
