For a long time I couldn't listen to this album. I found it boring, way too calm to my taste. Then I saw her live 15 years ago, and it started to change my impression of her and her music. Sure, it's very calm, but the music is actually nice and she's a great singer. I'm not a huge fan, but I don't run away from it anymore.
This is an old favourite of mine, from back when I first started trying to branch out from my teenage grunge/metal tastes. I still find it really easy, chill album to listen to, without it getting boring. Love Norah's voice.
This is another one of those albums that struck a chord with the listening public as being something to put on if you were planning a cozy night in with your significant other. I’m not entirely sure quite how romantic the line about wanting to be turned on like a light bulb in a darkened room is though! It’s a nice easy listen though - a bit of piano, some folky guitar and smooth vocals from Norah herself. Not my usual cup of tea, but a solid 3 stars though.
