It's been a while since I heard a singer-focused album. This probably could also have been released in the 50s, it sounds timeless. The voice is very interesting, with a mezmerizing vibrato and a timbre that changes color very often, sometimes she even sounds like a man (in a good way). She sounds best with the piano, it underlines the drama in the songs (best in the title track). The band doesn't seem to stand a chance against Simone's voice or just doesn't fit well. Especially in "Wha keep on breaking my heart" the discrepancy is obvious, a light rythm and a dramatic voice. The album is very good, it sounds like Antony (from Antony And The Johnsons) has listened to it a lot.
