This sounds exactly like KT Tunstall and Sarah MacLachlan. There’s no reason to read the rest of this review.
Still here? Well, “Everybody Knows” is a Leonard Cohen cover. It’s good. “Just in Time” is the last track and sounds like Poe. Perhaps she should cover “Angry Johnny” too.
The title track is fun. And it’s true. In the end, we’re just taller children. It even has a Book of Love-style interlude, which was a pleasant surprise.
“Race You” is catchy. It’s lighthearted and fun. I don’t care about “Apathy.” “The Hang Up” is a little slow for my tastes, but obviously this is the style of the artist and not subject for debate. Go listen to this one while pitting cherries that you just bought at the farmer’s market.
Although not groundbreaking, this a fun record. I’m not sure how easy it will be for this act to branch out, but it’s a good start, if nothing else.
