Oct 16, 2020This is a laidback album, drawing on the dreamy Seventies milieu of Laurel Canyon with a touch of the easy listening sumptuousness of Burt Bacharach. It is about the ways lovers drift apart, evoking the fall of Autumnal leaves rather than blood on the tracks.

Oct 16, 2020Album No. 8 is an intensely personal album that feels like Melua made it for herself first and foremost.
-
Oct 16, 2020A compendious set of cinematic, soothing and poignant songs, showcasing a deeper maturity not only in Melua’s voice, but also in her songwriting.
-
Oct 16, 2020Nothing approaches rock, or even rock oriented. Rather Melua keeps her expressive, mellifluous voice focused on mood and atmosphere, letting the songs and orchestrations do the heavy lifting.

Oct 20, 2020A beautiful emotional journey...nothing is a filler here. Beauticul and haunting. It seems hard times made Katie write and make her best album yet.
