One of the best buys you'll ever make.
-
Alternative PressA substantial improvement over the gentle snoozefest that was 2000's Early Days. [Apr 2002, p.76]

UncutA far more ambitious affair as producers Black Dog and Custom Blue underpin her crystalline vocals with subtly pattering lite beats, clever jazz inflections and humming electronic textures. [Dec 2001, p.102]

Titles & Idols' songs solve the same acoustic guitars + electronica beats equation as do the songs of Beth Orton and Everything But the Girl, adding up to adult pop with just enough jitter to give it a tinge of hipness.
