I did not love the first album - it wasn't offensive but didn't leave much of an impression. That said, I think Virtue is definitely a step in the right direction. The production really helps her - I get a bit of Dar Williams meets Vienna Teng from her. Cassandra and A Woman, A Woman, A Century Of Sleep are my favorites at the moment. This actually has a chance to make my end of year list (although it's been a really good year for music all around so who knows).
Trellik Tower is one of the loveliest songs I have heard this year. Good stuff.
