Comments: “Pavement cracks” starts like a ballad but quickly acquires teeth and a beat, and surely that's Stevie Wonder on the smoking sultry harmonica on “The hurting time”? She certainly channels Karen Carpenter on “Wonderful”. The exuberant soul swagger of “Bitter pill” contrasts sharply with the fragile vulnerability of “The saddest song I've got”.
Intention: I think I'd like to hear more of this.
