There are some very good well-produced tracks on their CD. Her style is a combination of Kate Bush and Sparks, except I think Sparks would do better versions. I first heard them on the Jonathan Ross chat show - the only reason i have to be grateful to that otherwise rubbish series. Sophie, have you heard Skinny Genes by Eliza Doolittle? it's fab.

yes skinny genes is a grower!!

her last single Hollywood sounded like Lene Lovich (one for the over forties!) backed by Keane ...

Is that one used on an advert chirpy? Really like it!

[chirpychirpy]

Bit late answering this one...bought the first album on the strength of Hollywood and cannot stop listening to it. I don't skip any tracks (the only CD I own where that happens), favourite song if I had to choose is Numb. Saw her live at Cambridge Junction a week ago and it was awesome. Her voice live is amazing! Looking forward to the new album, going to see her live in Manchester cathedral in May. She is absolutely brilliant!!
