Mistaken Identity [CD + DVD]

The results are solid, if surprisingly unremarkable for the talent at work. Hooklines and melodies are mostly present and correct - particularly in standout "Mistaken Identity", which sees Delta echoing both Alanis Morissette and the ghostly spectre of Kate Bush (a frightening, if enjoyable, combination) and the jolly "Sanctuary." "The Analyst" is lyrically dense and "Almost Here", her duet with Brian McFadden is revealing. "Be Strong" and the stripped "Fragile" touch the surface of personal struggle adding to the redemptive feel of the album as a whole. --Ben Johncock
