RELEASED: 2006 (late 2006 I think)
So the first local (New Zealand) CD :) Of course, the singles off this cd are the songs I know and have grown to like, seeing they get a lot of airplay on the radio and tv here. Otherwise I don't think I've listened to this CD in the year or so that I've owned it. I know, very slack, but even though I haven't bought a huge amount of cds since the beginning of 2007, there were two or three that hogged all my listening time.
The whole album I'd describe as 'nice'. I still wish Brooke Fraser would remove the damn tounge piercing - you can hear it inhibit her pronounciation quite clearly. It's annoyed me since I caught her live in 2003. But other than that one annoyance, it is a pretty strong album and her voice sounds good. Two or three standout tracks, and otherwise just a solid bunch on songs. The songwriting has matured since her first album but it's pretty typical of the type of music she sings - it's not up there with some of the great female musicians, but I'd rate her up there with Bic Runga - it is reminiscent of early Bic (before she veared off into what I now consider to be some of the most boring music I own)
Favourite Track/s - C.S Lewis Song
