Jun 14, 2019A natural empath, she wraps warm words around the shoulders of lives made wretched by those who breathe easiest. ... A monumental achievement that stands utterly alone.
-
Jun 19, 2019She has a unique capacity to include all the world’s issues in the album just by slipping in an occasional nugget of truth that punches the listener in the gut.

UncutJun 13, 2019Claustrophobic, gripping, uncomfortably frank suite. [Aug 2019, p.39]

Q MagazineJun 13, 2019A clever marriage of weighty words and sonic delight. [Summer 2019, p.115]

Jun 13, 2019On this album, you find yourself drifting in and out. She tackles trolls, racism, overpopulation and the internet age. You crave solutions as each track closes, or perhaps more of those sublime, witty character studies she offered on Let Them Eat Chaos.
