Meester’s voice is strong, sultry and yet vulnerable and gentle. The tone and even texture to her voice have this mysterious and dreamy feel that compels you to press repeat. The thought to press skip doesn’t cross your mind for any of the songs because they are all that good. Listening to the whole album is like embarking on a relaxing boat ride of sweet, soothing melodies accompanied by perfectly strummed acoustic guitars.
The songs vary in tempo. Songs like “Good for One Thing” and “On My Side” pick up the pace and lift you up. But then there are songs like “Dreaming.”
