At first I wasn't into the voice but hot dang, I'm so on board with it that it's crazy now. There's real soul and emotion in the voice in a lot of the songs, it's insecure and fragile but wise and strong. I don't hear a female harpist putting on a weird voice, I hear a unique storyteller who emotes these incredibly vivid folk tales just using her vocal timbre and the pluckings of her harp.

I can definitely understand people not liking her voice but I'm past that now, I absolutely love it. And her.
