Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut release from the Canadian songwriter showcases her early penchant for ethereal, atmospheric folk-pop. Initially released on the independent Nettwerk label before being remixed for major-label distribution, the project is heavily colored by subtle Celtic new age influences and lush acoustic textures. It laid the emotional and melodic groundwork for her massive international breakthroughs in the following decade.
