Dec 1, 2014It’ll definitely prove a little too keen on mid-1990s house beats for younger ears, but it’s a sure-footed statement of intent from a top newcomer amongst 2014’s pop crowd who, on this evidence, is going to contend for further number ones in the coming years.

Oct 22, 2014Sound of a Woman quickly reveals itself to be a crafty bait and switch. With its scratchy trip-hop beat, soulful vocals, and sparsely placed keyboards and synthesized string stabs, "Losin' My Mind" is more Blue Lines than Big Fun, while the Jessie Ware-esque electro-soul ballads "So Deep" and "Vietnam" find the singer dabbling in drum n' bass and freestyle, respectively.

Dec 1, 2014It’s Top of the Pops in 1992. It’s not at all bad.
-
Oct 23, 2014Kiesza’s so much better when she reels back her impressively ranging vocals to buttery.
-
Oct 22, 2014Sound of a Woman fails to spark, as its homogenous textures blend together to rob this music of the personality and emotion it has when done right.
-
Dec 1, 2014Ultimately, too many promising tracks fall flat, and Kiesza’s strong, emotive voice is forced to do all the heavy lifting.
