    It feels darker, somehow, deliciously shadowey.

    The work is consistently compelling but dense. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.93]

    There are still missteps--the ungainly "Chain My Name" and "Spilling Lines"--but between these sit a brace of casually innovative slow jams. [Nov 2013, p.76]

    A fine sound indeed, but one that could have been better with a shade more variety injected into proceedings.

    Shulamith picks up pretty much where that album left off, mixing elements of yacht rock, soul, hip hop and dub into a smoothly melancholic whole--but at times Leaneagh’s vocodered emoting makes you wonder if this isn’t just Dido for the blognoscenti.
