Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut and sole studio release from the American singer-songwriter, famed for featuring Donald Fagen and Walter Becker of Steely Dan playing together for the first time in years. The record offers a remarkably sophisticated, jazz-inflected brand of art pop defined by lush synthesizers and breathy, enigmatic vocals.
