Title: Intoxicating, Hope's voice saves debut album.
Review: For those of you who have listened to this genre of music before, this album is not far from the Mazzy Star albums from Hope's previous efforts. There is a different musical chemistry than before; such as the absense of the tamborine that I was use to in Mazzy Star's, "So Tonight That I Might See". However, that tamborine seems to have been replaced by sparkling cymbals and triangles. The accoustic guitar is smooth and the chords are clear. Of course, the only reason I would listen to this album is because Hope Sandavol's vocals are the most seductive, intoxicating sounds I have heard from any female lead vocalist. Although a different shade of grey from the three previous Mazzy albums, it is the mellow sounds this genre expects. Best songs: Around My Smile, On The Low, and Butterfly Mornings. This album is about two more songs away from getting five stars.
