    After loving Alabama Shakes and reading the great reviews, I really wanted to like this album. But I found that production annoyingly noisy and there were few memorable tracks.

    The only good songs were 'Stay High' and 'Short and Sweet'. The rest is unlistenable.

    The process of writing this album was personal and intimate, but the end result is a confident, bold debut.

    The Alabama Shakes mainspring's first solo release showcases R&B borne of a dark, introspective place, grooving like a 35-minute scream into a pillow.

    The album’s 11 songs are spontaneous, fluid and entirely indifferent to genre as they pour out of her like the torrential rains of an evening thunderstorm.
