The spellbinding mix of shimmering folk and shimmying disco on Out of the Woods eclipses her past work.
-
UncutMost of the album sees producers Charles Webster and Ewan Pearson buiilding on the bedsit rave of "Missing" and the beatific drum'n'bass of Walking Wounded. [Apr 2007, p.120]
-
There isn't a duff or thoughtless moment.
-
Entertainment WeeklyA tasteful disco effort. [23 Mar 2007, p.61]
-
Out Of The Woods... manages to seamlessly transition between understated chamber-pop ballads reminiscent of Annie Lennox and more hip, club-friendly fare.
-
Producer Ewan Pearson occasionally falters in connecting her vocals with the arrangements; there's a nice engagement on the slower, non-beat-driven tracks that you wish he'd mastered on the clubbier cuts.
-
Under The RadarMuch of the album has a cheesy '80s vibe. [#17, p.93]

MaxMApr 9, 2007A great return for one of the best voices in popular music ever! "Falling Off a Log" is stunning and I can't wait for remixes of "Grand Canyon."
