Editorial Reviews

Meaghan's independent debut album Lost With Direction was released in 2005. Since then, the Halifax resident has been sporadically touring and has honed her writing skills in preparation for The Cricket's Orchestra. 'I wanted the album to be an inspiring musical experience that makes you feel like you're leaving one world and entering another - a colorful, whimsical and imaginative place where you can reflect on your past and look forward to your future.' Warner. 2009.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best CD I've heard in years!, February 17, 2010

I heard this CD playing at a book store and picked it up. This is, by far, one of the best albums I've picked up in ten years. It's best if you listen to it from 1-11, but some of the individual songs are wonderful as well. This CD has mostly a jazzy sound, but there are some hip hop and pop sounds mixed in as well. I'm no critic so I can't explain it correctly, but I love this album! I've let several friends listen and they all really enjoyed it as well.

I learned about her from the iTunes Holiday sampler. I was playing her tract over and over again and it makes me feel happy. Decided to look for her album and voila! It was here for $5. I love her songs, her sentiments and style. I am an official fan now!
Norah Jones' Come Away with Me were being tagged as similar but I disagree. =)

I purchased this album based on a recommendation by Amazon, and I am so happy with the decision to take Amazon's recommendation! I listen to Meaghan on a near daily basis and am absolutely hooked on her amazing voice and soothing sound. Her songs are energizing but also calming and relaxing to me. I've shared a couple of my favorite songs with friends and they have gone out to get this album as well. My favorites on this album are Heartbroken and I Know. I can't wait to hear more of her music!
