Nov 25, 2013Sun might be unexpected to come from Cat Power. But I think the sound is rather refreshing, not disappointing at all. Of course I prefer her soft-rock/sadcore sound more, but adding up some dancey beats does no harm for her already-perfect-talent. Sun is amazing in its own style, and definitely not a letdown at all.

Dec 2, 2012Unarguably the best album of this year. One might say it was a big departing from Chan's last efforts, but it was a change for good. The electro style adopted mixed perfectly with her smokey voice and always powerful songwriting. It is, at the same time, personal and universal, because she's singing about both her relations and world's. Best songs are 'Ruin' and 'Manhattan'.

Sep 11, 2012I've always found her albums rather self-indulgent with all her covers and vocal gymnastics, but on this record she has let the music take centre stage. It's a great listen. Far more groovy* than previous efforts.
*Just because I said groovy, it does not mean that I am over 40. It's just the most apt word for this album. -
Sep 6, 2012Overall, a slight letdown. It's a very heterogenous record and there are some creative high points, she seems comfortable and all... but I'm not quite convinced with some of the lyrics and melodies, which sometimes sound like a bit "disharmonic" . But the highlights 'Cherokee' and 'Nothin But Time' kick it up a notch.

Oct 10, 2012Despite its flaws, Sun is not a complete failure and does deserve to be mentioned alongside the rest of her work, if only for the comparison of how she once tried something different--a flawed but worthwhile attempt.

Oct 1, 2012Sun is undoubtedly Marshall's boldest and most diverse effort to date, and it is all the better for it.

Sep 25, 2012What makes Sun so exquisite is that Marshall finally sounds in control of her chaos.
