Great CD. I would give it a 99-100! It is great to see her star continually rising, but bittersweet, as I know the more fans that she gets the more difficult it will be to enjoy her meet and greets after the shows. So glad that I got to meet her this year.
The only thing better than this album is seeing her live.
I have adored her music since the first time I happened upon it, about 2 and a half years ago. This new album is fantastic, from start to finish, to the opening line of "Looking Out" to the last line of "Oh Dear." It is so cohesive, so well put together, as well as each individual song is great in its own right. She is phenomenal, and I rate the album as high as possible, 100+! Both her recorded music and her live music is the best music out there today!
I agree, it is bittersweet. What a joy to watch them gain fame, but one day we won't be sitting in the second row and shaking hands after the show. They'll never stop touching my heart and inspiring me. This album is excellent. I hope there are many more to come.
If you haven't already, go see her live. There's nothing like it!!
