Her relaxing melodies are a retreat — from more clattering forms of pop like rap and alternative rock, from the barrage of media and hype in contemporary culture, from the struggles and annoyances of daily life.

I am in awe of the atmosphere of this album. The highs are INSANELY high.

Best : Afer Ventus
Worst : No Holly For Miss Quinn
