Album Notes & Community Reviews

Blending sharp, socially conscious spoken word poetry with driving electronic arrangements, the artist further solidified her unique position in the new wave spectrum. 'Hopeless Cases' utilizes rigid synthpop rhythms to underscore the poignant, often cynical observations of modern urban life. The album's articulate delivery and atmospheric production strongly resonated within the European alternative scene.
