Title: There's "Sister Cecil," "Sunny Day" and then...
Review: there's everything else. Sister is a great tale of family and of ... boldness versus introversion. It's delivered with flair, love, and passion, and every note rings true. Sunny Day kicks off the CD with a joyous ode to new beginnings. The quality drop after those two songs is dramatic, unfortunately. To this listener, the rest of the CD is overwritten, overproduced, and at times borders on the histrionic. I guess a Yale education may not be the best available passport to some professions. There's plenty of promise, but here it is unfulfilled. I'd like to see another CD from her where she eases up a bit -- she needs to write about what she knows rather than trying to be "artist," and to learn that there are more than two speeds -- power ballad and power power -- to performing. You don't have to turn the amps and the voice up to 11 all the time!
