Customer Rating: Summary: ADULT SOULFUL POP Comment: Each and every song stands on its own merit. Thoughtful, mature voice with a bluesy feel.Loved it! Customer Rating: Summary: non stop on repeat Comment: I play this album in full at least twice a day and a few songs individually in other playlists. I can't wait for the next album. Customer Rating: Summary: Different than expected Comment: As young as she is and after hearing her song Chasing Pavements on the radio, I thought I had figured out what her 'sound' would be. I was surprised at first, but quickly grew to like the album all the way through. She exhibits a maturity that belies her few years and her ease at being a bit experimental is admirable if not always playing in her favor.
Overall, this CD is one of my favorites for the year ending 2008. Give it a listen and be a little patient- it will surely be worth your time.
