2007 debut from this singer/songwriter. From waiting tables in NYC to five million You Tube views (and counting), word of mouth has hand-selected her as 2007's ultimate find. The album is written by Terra and produced by Paul Fox (10,000 Maniacs, XTC). A 12-track tour de force of heartbreaking vocals, vibrant melodies and immaculate lyrics, it's another stage of the US chanteuse's inspirational ascent. Featuring string arrangements by David Campbell, Beck's father, it's a truly defiant album that demands attention. Island.
