    Beautiful lyrics, inspiring and fresh sounds; describe in a different way what is love and sadness. Changed my life and I love the guitar music in every song.

    Simultaneously melancholy and charming.[March 2012, p.112]

    This singer-songwriter neatly balances the darkly troubled with the charmingly childlike, acoustic clunkiness with intricate finger picking. [Mar 2012, p.98]

    While there are clichés here that love songs struggle to escape from, I Thought I Was An Alien dumps twee cold and hard, running into pop's warm embrace.
