I listened to this a couple of days ago and while I can see some musical merit in there, it is just not the sort of thing I would choose to listen to in the evening to wind down to! So, a 2 from me. ( I sound really negative there don't I?)

This is pretty good.
For once, a 'modern' young, female singer that doesn't annoy meI will probably buy a copy and will keep an eye open for future releases as I feel she may well develop into something a bit special.
Out of 5, I've given it 3, but it would have been 7/10.

Like Keith I gave it a 3 but it would have been a 7
It started off really well, kind of a cross between the Sneaker Pimps & OliveBut I felt it got a bit samey towards the end, if it had carried on like it did with the first 3 tracks it'd have been a 4 or 8 & I may well have hunted down a CD of it.
Still might yet as I reckon I'll spin it again

Using a long train ride with my nexus and spotify to catch up on some album club. This gets a 3 from me. Particularly enjoyed some of the interesting percussion stuff and thought the singer was nice. Some of it put me in mind of classic 80s artists such as soft cell and Ultravox. My sister is mad about 80s electronica and I think she'll appreciate this. Overall not a bad choice and not something I'd rush out to buy but now I'm aware of it I'd recommend to others. Still better than most of what passes for pop music nowadays.
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
