“An expansive, cinematic record. Now singing mostly in English as she reconnects with her piano-based songwriting, her naturalistic voice is a relaxed conduit to elegantly detailed songs.”
“An eclectic yet assured record that sounds like someone taking stock but using that solid foundation as a springboard to leap forward musically. ‘Dancing On Volcanoes’ is melodic and infectious while tracks like ‘War’ are sparse, moody and dripping in eerie atmosphere.”
