That says it all - outstanding.  This album stands out.  Soulful lyrics delivered with seductive then surprising vocals, excellently crafted songs and absolutely perfect production, it does not blend in with the crowd.  This album definitely speaks to a deeper sensibility and still turns out hooks that'll snag you.

I've been a fan of Lucy Child for many years now and I have to say this is her best work yet.  You know the work of a great song writer when you can't get the lyrics or the melodies out of your head!  I bought this album for all my friends and relatives for Christmas and they were just as impressed.  Nice work Lucy!

Capable of both delicate whisper-sings and full-bore belting, this is a singer/songwriter who takes pieces that are already strong, builds them up, and knows just how to cool them off without extinguishing the spark. You could call this modern rock, but there's pop in there too, as well as bits of jazz and tinges of the most tasteful lounge. The tracks are powered by piano and other keys, and Child's ability as a vocalist to both go toe-to-toe with the larger layers of sound (the wonderfully rumbling opener "Naked Eye") and dance seductively with the sparser arrangements ("Whispering," "Dusk") is a testament to both her abilities as a singer and her expertise in the area of crafting an effective song. The spot-on production presents itself as another key element, making room for strings, mellotron, and subtle but solid percussion. It may be hard to definitively classify the music she's making, but in the end, that also ends up being one of the best things about this album.
