REVIEWS
Asking For Flowers, set a high-water mark, and Voyageur dodges comparisons by presenting the artist’s consistently literate songs in a new light.
In a year of powerhouse female vocalists, Edwards deserves her place near the upper ranks with Voyageur.
Whilst Vernon’s production does add a glossy sheen, Edwards’ captivating character is ultimately untouched
She manages to sing through her torment on Voyageur, in hope that the journey is ultimately redemptive.
The key, though, is finding balance within this sonic shuffle, something Edwards hasn’t done quite yet.
Here the more intimate focus limits her lyrical range and stunts the album's impact.
Voyageur is a serviceable and agreeable record worth taking down a gravel road to.
There’s nothing on Voyageur, aside from the clever lyrics, to distinguish Edwards from the ever crowded field of MOR songwriters.
