5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect studio album, December 29, 2008

Kate is an absolute delight to watch live. If you find yourself in the US and unable to obtain a copy of the Live at the Chapel video concert (check the Backstage section of www.katemillerheidke.com), you're truly missing out. Her previous albums have been enjoyable more for the memory of her fantastic performance (along with her fantastic band) and lovely personality after shows than for themselves. The songs were never quite as expressive, quite as exciting, as they were on stage. Kate puts on a very good show, and often adds little operatic trills into the performance but not into the recordings.

This album finally changes that. As before, every song is gorgeous and well performed, but this time there's no feeling that something has been lost between the stage and the studio. Some of the songs speak to Kate's folksy roots ("Our Song" and "Caught in the Crowd" especially feel 'older' than the rest of the album), and some speak to a combination of pop and new wave ("Can't Shake It", the first single from the album, and "Motorscooter" both remind me quite a lot of the B-52s!), and all are equally fantastic.

I really love this CD. What an pleasure to hear Pop music that is honest and passionate. Her songs can be playful or poignant. If like Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and/or Tori Amos... you will enjoy this CD by a fresh new talent!

5.0 out of 5 stars HOW POP IS DONE!!!!, June 26, 2010

I just listened to this CD at a listening station and immediately had to buy it. Kate is a revelation!!! This is smart, avant-garde pop that is incredibly catchy and listenable, but still unique. This is how pop is done. Smart, well-conceived, and sassy. This disc is leagues above all the crap on the radio today! A perfectly crafted album. I hope Kate reaches alot of people with this intelligent and spunky release! A must own!
