A surprise find, as I wasn't looking for music in this genre at all. Kristen's voice is captivating, full of interesting little inflections and vocal twists, and the tracks on this album feature many cute passages and sparks of intensity that keep you listening.
And she can really sing --- her voice is uncannily like that of one US multi-platinum chart star whom I won't name in case Kristen doesn't care for the comparison (and I think Kristen is better), but that's US$XX million of value in the Creative Commons right there. :-)
A very nice album, Kristen. It's on my quality works list, and I'll be recommending it to friends who are searching in this genre. My rating of only 8 reflects that this music is barely on the edge of my musical tastes, but I can appreciate music outside of my tastes as well, and frankly Kristen deserves much higher.
A great talent, and a very good album.
PS. After a week of repeat listening, I have now upped my score to 9. Kristen has succeeded in turning a fly-by reviewer into an out-of-usual-genre fan. Her voice is lovely, and so personal. :-)
