Just got this, well the Bright Lights version, nice songs. She loves that quiver effect on her voice.

I just think that because she sings so naturally, that it comes off as both a strength & a weakness depending on each individual line. It feels really personal at times, but feels too (for want of a better word) non-artistic at others. Ditto for her accent; At times, it's a strength, at others it just feels like a barmaid asking if you want a drink.

I love her accent. Her voice.



I have simply become smitten after an hour or so of live YouTube videos. So talented.

I honestly don't understand how anybody thinks her voice is awkward or straight up claims she can't sing at all because her talent is astounding.

Well, I definitely didn't say she can't sing... & she is very talented... But certain lines can get awkward I think. The thing is, she is young & has only released one album... She'll get even better.

I wasn't so much referring to you Davey as I was the countless YouTube comments I meandered through (which I know, I shouldn't trust as a source for anything substantial at all).

WE'VE GOT OUR GUNS AND HORSIIIEEESS



Question, Davey: say in in a certain song - let's say 'Guns & Horses' - can you pick out an example line or two that you think sound awkward? I'm really curious what tickles your fancy and what irks you simply to see if we're remotely on the same page.

Bad example Caleb, as I think 'Guns & Horses' is near-perfect & the best song on here.



Tbh, it's no so apparent on this album... The over-use of synth is the main issue here. It just occasionally flairs up on her 4 million covers she seems to be doing.

Haha, we've reached an impasse then. I guess I'll just listen to The Writer a few thousand more times to deal with my indifference!

My guitar's in England so I've just been bangin' it out on piano but once I'm back over the pond I'll give it a try there before making love to you and the internet (in that precise order).
