  • Summary: The debut album from the singer-songwriter best known for her work on Air's 'Moon Safari' (where she co-wrote and provided vocals for "All I Need" and "You Make It Easy").

  1. A welcome antidote to the hard rock and bubble-gum pop flooding today's airwaves.
  2. She bridges powdery lyrics and floating acoustics throughout the nine-track album, singing from an inner spirituality.
  3. This album, barely over half an hour in length, bears the hallmarks of a barrel- scraping reissue program.
  4. Basically, it's the curse of Jewel: Yank bird with acoustic guitar, homespun philosophy and twee poeticism, where the songs ramble on and on to deliver some platitudinal twaddle...
