Tracey Thorn has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. That's not to say the style of music in this album is my favorite, but I have a feeling Thorn could sing just about anything and make it lovely.
This is an early example of "sophisti-pop" which is a blend of jazz, pop, and soul. As a genre, it doesn't have much of an edge and could probably be classified as "easy listening."
But as I said earlier, the album is elevated by Thorn's ridiculous talent as a vocalist. Since women are few and far between on this List, this was definitely a refreshing change.
RATING: 4/5
