I don't own any of her other albums and only really know her as a songwriter for others.

But this new album is a rock n soul n dirty funky beast of a thing with a visceral lyrical slant on 'our times' that manages to speak well and righteously without preaching. It's protest from the heart and, in all senses of the word, soul.

I think a reason why it connected with me is that, when you've spent a lot of the year listening to ambience, jazz, drone, doom and other things that I do indeed adore and cherish, sometimes, every so often, it's good to be reminded of that most old fashioned of things, The Song. This album is packed with great, pumpin' songs, and delivered with a relish and groove that just makes you feel good when things are bad.
