This is one of those albums people will remember fondly in ten years, remembering when they first heard it, or list it on a social media quiz about which old albums they still listen to regularly.

It's a very mellow, confessional singer-songwriter album with fantastic writing, just the sort of thing she'd have a hand in, and you can definitely hear her strong influence in the production on songs like Talk and even her voice in harmonies later in the album on tracks like Unforgivable.
