Album Notes & Community Reviews

The London songwriter's sophomore effort pairs her distinctive, jazz-inflected vocal style with driving, 1990s-indebted alternative rock textures. The arrangements rely heavily on tight, hypnotic guitar loops and anxious rhythms to explore themes of emotional numbness, romantic dissolution, and personal resilience.
