A handful of tunes on this one-named wonder's debut are as cool as anything you'll hear this summer.
-
It's an impressive debut, and one that justifies the hype she's gotten.
-
BlenderSure, it's commercial, but Rosey's expert melding of dance beats and hippie dippiness adds up to a debut slick with beatnik cool. [#8, p.122]
-
Some of the livelier tunes don't suit her as well, and neither does overproduction. Luckily, Rosey's vocals shine through where it counts.
-
A vibrant new artist bursting with individuality.
-
When the album fails, it usually does so by not capitalizing on her honey-burnt pipes or by creating musical backdrops that are muddled, meandering dumps of dull.
-
It's distinctly focused with an urban appeal while rooted in rock, and a bit comparable to the likes of Poe, Fiona Apple, and Beth Orton.
