    One can sense that she has complete control, lyrically and musically.

    'White Lilies Island' sees Imbruglia free herself from the Alanis Morissette-clone image that you sense was very much forced last time around and actually manage to carve out an identity, both in her vocals and as a personality.

    Despite Imbruglia's big, pouty voice, it's all perfectly pleasant and quickly forgotten.

    A surprisingly agreeable, if lightweight, disc.
