Pop fans will think it's a country album, country purists will deem it pop and contributions from friends in both Stars and Broken Social Scene adds a conflicting rock slant. What's not in doubt is that Millan makes it work.
-
UncutShe comes over like Tammy Wynette crossed with Parker Posey--an indie queen with a Kentucky twang. [Aug 2006, p.101]
-
A compelling and touching record.
-
She's just as accomplished as a woodsy singer-songwriter as she is a synth-pop Star.
-
FilterFlying solo, she's surprisingly mournful. [#21, p.102]
-
"Honey" is a commendable first effort from an artist whose lush vocals are a treat for the ears no matter the genre.
-
Paste MagazineIt's highly expressive songwriting, and Millan... has the lyrics to match. [Sep 2006, p.75]
-
Rolling StoneUnlike her work with Stars, Millan's album plays less like a score for a broken heart and more like a boozy cowgirl hymnal. [21 Sep 2006, p.84]
-
An interesting, slightly odd, but ultimately satisfying experiment from one of the more talented musicians today.
-
Q MagazineShe sings [everything] so prettily that you wonder just how authentic her misery really is. [Aug 2006, p.113]
-
UrbQuite boring. [Jul/Aug 2006, p.125]
-
Under The RadarTombs doesn’t smack of inauthenticity--you just find yourself wishing that she’d had gone whole-hog into her Nashville play. [Summer 2006]
-
BlenderShe's a surprisingly convincing country singer. [Sep 2006, p.143]
-
SpinBarroom confessions that are more soulful, if somewhat less tuneful, than her day band's. [Sep 2006, p.106]
-
Millan's first solo effort is solid, but it feels like more of an experiment than anything.
-
Honey's more fleshed-out productions show Millan has the ability to be engaging on her own, but they are too scarce to make this album anything more than a humble footnote.
-
In country music, it’s all about the chops--and Millan doesn’t have ‘em. Yet.
