    Their sound hasn’t evolved but simply bettered itself, and as per usual, finds its way around an extensive (and slightly absurd) range of instruments.

    The flow of the album makes it feel effortless, and not as if it was crafted periodically and with every detail mapped out. And as Sultana welcomes us into their very own Garden of Eden and we absorb further into the grooves, their honed craft is revealed.

    If this album could stand a bit of editing to make it more concise, it leaves no doubt they have the talent and vision to be an artist who is going to be around for a while, and it's fascinating to imagine where they can go next. Terra Firma shows where they are now is already pretty impressive.

    The endings of "Maybe You've Changed" and "Coma" have blown me away. I didn't have high expectations as it was Natasha's first job, but IThe endings of "Maybe You've Changed" and "Coma" have blown me away. I didn't have high expectations as it was Natasha's first job, but I admit I'm very surprised with the whole result; I have a hard time picking a favorite song when I have "Sweet & Dandy", and then "Willow Tree", and then "Vanilla Honey" ... it is impossible to have preferences! She is not only a singer-songwriter, but a completely sound visionary of whom I have no doubt that when we return to normality and the festivals, she will be the sensation that everyone will wait hours of hours to see her perform live. This is pure and living artistry; let's begin to appreciate it.

    favorite tracks (I always choose 5, so it was a a very difficult decision): "Pretty Lady", "Musk", "Greed", "Blame It On Society" and "Sweet & Dandy"
    KEY-TRACK: "Willow Tree"
