Title: Dreamy
Review: Some artists make it difficult for themselves by recording such great work at the beginning of their careers, setting the bar too high for subsequent releases. And yes, "And She Closed Her Eyes" is such a marvelous, dreamy, haunting album that I never expected Ms N to release anything so good again. And perhaps "The World is Saved" doesn't quite send the same chill down my spine, but it is still bloody good. Surprisingly good in fact. Get On With Your Life, Winter Killing, On Falling, The Morning Belongs to the Night and The End of a Love Affair are stand out tracks. But the others are good too, not a dud one on the album. The same cutesy, whimsical fragile voice which seduced us in And She Closed Her Eyes hasn't lost any of its charm. That voice is accompanied by gentle, delicate atmospheric arrangements and most of these songs wouldn't have been out of place on And She Closed Her Eyes. In fact, this is the album which should have followed And She Closed Her Eyes. Charming and dreamy. Again.
