    Whether they lean closer towards her old traditionalist ways or evince greater ambition, each of these seven songs betrays that sense of ease: the recording close, the playing soft, her voice’s chalky edge and warm-blooded intimacy drawing you in.

    Every track seems to hint at a grander version than what was delivered, but the loose ends and modest scale are alluring, since they appear to offer an insight into how this fiercely imaginative, quietly fearless singer/songwriter challenges herself.

Even the most common phrases from her mouth are heard somehow especially. The instrumental parts seemed to converge with Nora in the same dance, where they became an excellent partner: intuitively moving with her in the same rhythm, they feel her every movement of the voice, the course of her thoughts and conceived steps.

    ____ The album was very warm and elegant. Perfect for relaxing evenings when you want to contemplate and enjoy the smooth flow of time.
