good god, i can't believe i wrote this. goes to show you, never rely on the amazon 30 second previews, they show you nothing...
i downloaded this album right before i went home and i can't stop listening to it. one of the most captivating albums of 2005, absolutely beautiful. his voice is nothing short of amazing and the nina simone comparisons stand ( i should really think before i post sometimes ). from the haunting opener "hope there's someone", through the 90 second masterpiece of "what can i do" and the hopeful closer of "bird ghurl", it's absolute perfection. heartbreaking and beautiful. my sister also can't get enough of it. ( my mid sister's comment was " em....it's odd..." *sigh*...why do i bother with her)
