    [Kiesza] serves up is one of the most elastic albums of the 1990s, both 20 years too late and also totally in time.

    It’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.

    Sound 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.

    While Sound of a Woman is slightly too long and unfocused, at its best it's a potent reminder of how much fun this sound was--and is.

It has a good selection of dance and electro sounds and it sounds very good and her voice is amazing. Only a few songs (Piano, Losin' My Mind) are not so excellent as the others but all the other songs are very cool! I love this album and I hope she will do other albums in the future! The best tracks are: Hideaway, Over Myself, Sound of a woman, No Enemiesz and The Love… Full Review »
