Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from an extended hiatus following a difficult breakup, the British vocalist's fourth studio album strips away the cinematic pop polish of her earlier work. Heavily inspired by classic Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters, the record is an unhurried, piano-driven exploration of heartbreak and eventual acceptance.
