    Pratt's succinct lines can spill out so naturally and conversationally it's hard to believe someone wrote them, except that she messes with the syntax a little, too.

    On Your Own Love Again is something else again, at least a personal landmark and maybe a classic. Simple, straightforward, but more than it seems, this is one of the best albums of 2015 so far and marks the emergence of a very distinctive songwriting talent.

    The melodic charms are epic, the lyrical insights about romantic disappointment universal. [Feb 2015, p.114]

    When we hear that scratch of pick on acoustic, we're trained to expect some diary-entry-type emoting. Pratt plays against that expectation beautifully, leaving us just enough breadcrumbs to get us lost.

    There are no jitters or missteps on On Your Own Love Again; it’s an album of puzzle-piece precision.

    On Your Own Love Again is a poignant and melancholy listen; one filled with gentle warmth that rings just as appropriate for both a slowly rising morning or an unwinding evening with a glass or two of wine.

    Pratt's jazz-steeped singing and rich guitar harmonies can recall early Joni Mitchell, or a nimble, less overbearing twist on the psychedelic folk of 21st-century artists like Joanna Newsom.

Following up her adequate debut with the grand "on your own love again" seems like the beginning of a great career in the indie echelon. The rocking "moon dude " feels like Nick Drake might resurrect and sing along with her as a contemporary. Truly impressive is what "greycedes" cool leaves you. The simplicity never mundane or lazy but definitely mesmerising.… Expand
