Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding her acoustic folk roots, the British singer-songwriter enlists producer Mike Howlett to craft a sleek, brass-accented contemporary pop record. The album blends prominent synthesizer textures and driving drum programming with her rich, distinctive alto and perceptive, highly personal lyricism.
