Interesting, intelligent and evocative!

Review Score: (8/10)
Having never even heard of Heather before, I bought this album purely on instinct (OK a HUGE attractive poster of the album art caught my eye :-). Having auditioned it several times now, my verdict's clear: I like it. But how would I describe her? Well, take Jewel's lyrical courage, Natalie Merchant's vocal style and Tory Amos's funk (but lower key!): now you've got perhaps an inkling of her appeal. Don't get me wrong, we're not talking derivitive stuff here, Heather's got her own style, her lyrics are thoughtful, in-your-face and the music/production is first-rate. I know I'll be playing this one in the car for a long time.
