Album Notes & Community Reviews
Written entirely on a second-hand upright piano she purchased in Camden Market, the British songwriter's eighth studio record is her first self-produced effort. Enlisting a top-tier cast of jazz musicians, including Tom Skinner on drums, the album wraps her deeply resonant vocals in an incredibly warm, atmospheric blend of chamber jazz and ambient pop.
