    She's one of the best songwriters (and singers) around. Note how the hooks in Everyday multiply until they overwhelm the listener - just like the song's protagonist is overwhelmed by the multiplicity of online dating. Also the rising and falling melody at the end of Something To Believe mirrors the constant reaching up (and disappointed falling back) of the quest for for spiritual fulfilment.

      I've probably listened to Titanic Rising around 40 times now and I still find myself wanting to come back to it, which is very rare for an album. Imo it's a vast improvement over Front row Seat to Earth in practically every aspect and is easily my aoty so far...

    I agree with the comments, she's eloquent but also really warm, like there is zero pretense to the way she expresses herself. Also, great choice with "Stardust", it's very easy to see how this lush and emotive standard would be symbiotic to her own brand of song-writing.
