Departures

Thanks for sharing this superb work. As said in the review title, I'm not really into this sort of stuff, it's sort of 90's Kate Bush clone based rather like Alanis Morrisette and Tori Amos. However, it must be said that it's just as good, in fact better in some respects as this album feels less overproduced and more human.

There's a rather nice Sheryl Crowe-esque 70's Bob Dylan "swampy" feel to the instrumentation. I like the use of violin which mixes country & western with British folk. The mix feels "free" and "airy" without being too sloppy or loose .

And it gets better as it goes on too. Broken Hearted Fool really does sound like Kate at her best. On the subject of which K.T. Tunstall seems to be an influence too.

I think there's a lot of potential in this material, because it has the crossover to attract a diverse audience. To top it all, there's more than enough melodic elements and hooks.

Classic and classic, love it....

Stephanie... wow, what a voice you have, that is sweet,sexy, cute and most of all strong, yet compelling, irresistible, and stylishly great, honest and heartfelt as you sing to perfect your interesting, story telling lyrics, with great accompaniment via your backing singer you hear occasionally and the mood setting, dreamy,delightful music that plays mesmerising-ly in the background to your awesome, diva like voice.
As soon as I started to listen to your voice on track one, I just knew. girl you will go far with grace and class with that impeccable voice of yours, let alone the hypnotic music that chaperon s you as you sing to us all.I was bewitched and in heaven as I sat back, and just listened to everything...
