    This album is really fantastic, every song on the album is amazing. She has an intense voice. She is clearly the revelation of 2010. The new face of folk. The next critically acclaimed artist. The lyrics are magnific and the bridge is so exciting, when it starts to heat up at the end ... orgasmic! Her voice is so perfect and beautiful!

    You can't help but fall in love with Lissie. Her look (natural beauty). Her feel (free spirit). That VOICE (so much power and soul)! Her songs (quite the collection and well-crafted). My only problem, and it's a big one... The album is over-produced, too much polish and shine. Her live performances top all of these tracks. It's still solid and highly recommended, especially inYou can't help but fall in love with Lissie. Her look (natural beauty). Her feel (free spirit). That VOICE (so much power and soul)!

    Ultimately, her album represents an admirable stab at the mainstream by an indie artist who isn't afraid to dabble in the dark arts of classic songwriting, instrumental ability, and professional production.

    On the one hand, it's impressive how she can weave so many different touches into her music, but on the other, things can get a bit schizophrenic. Unfortunately, the common denominator is nondescript pop-rock that loses its ability to enchant with repeated listens.

    She's ripe to land a song in an Apple commercial and hit it big, but you can't fault her. The girl knows how to make you look.
