Great voice, never got to like anything other than the odd track on Fox Confessor though. Hopefully better this time around.

I’ve seen her live (Hardly Strictly in SF) :-) and got the album afterwards but for me it was a bit of a let down. Still positive towards her though so, like I said, want to like the next one.
