Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by a brooding, propulsive bassline and Natasha Khan's striking falsetto, 'Daniel' became a breakthrough hit in the UK indie-pop scene. Its distinctively dark, cinematic arrangement heavily evoked the 1980s new wave and gothic rock eras, securing an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song.
