    Beautiful album, so far my favorite of 2020 alongside Kiwi Jr. Well worth the wait!

    Not sure who gave the low rating but this is easily a 9/10 maybe even 10 with time.

    Good things come to those who wait. Great things to those who wait a long time. The follow-up to AGCE's 2004 debut is a masterclass in how to make pop music. Sophisticated and nuanced, with tunes to die for, it's a record that sounds better with each repeated listen. It stands in league with classics like The Blue Nile's Hats and Prefab Sprout's Two Wheels Good.

    Been Around has heart, soul, a voice and tunes to die for, an early highlight of 2020. [Feb 2020, p.90]

    It's fair to say that Been Around out-performs her excellent debut, both in terms of composition and execution, making it a release well worth the wait.

    Everything that made her eponymous 2004 debut so instantly charming is on dazzling display once again.
