Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 7 out of 15

  1. This new soul still sounds fresh.
  2. It's a record that easily equals her debut, boasting better vocal performances but also better songwriting and accompanying production.

    Much of Voyage to India is a soporific swath of happy-hour wallpaper. [#11, p.127]

    On her underwhelming second album, we realise how nu-sould would sound stripped of all sonic invention, mischief and sensuality. [Dec 2002, p.151]

    I absolutely love this album. Well constructed and thought of. I am massive fan of the form of a song reflecting the content, so when I hear a song like Complicated Melody where the melody is so complicated she "almost cannot sing it on key", I will be putting that on replay for a week! The interludes of Growth, Healing and Gratitude really acts as home after really going on a voyage with the track list. My personal favourite would be Slow Down, as I felt that particular song spoke to me at the time I listened to this album and that is extremely rare for me. Truly phenomenal. Expand
