Full review

I stumbled across Polly Paulusma after downloading a single of hers for free, "Over The Hill", and it was on hearing this song which persuaded me to buy the album.

The album is quite simply breathtaking! Each song has enough individuality to stand out on its own, which I have found to be the opposite with many folk artists, and as such it becomes harder to pick a favourite song from the album. The lyrics on each track are of a decent quality and quite refreshing from the mind-numbing rubbish which is to be found all too frequently with many modern artists, but they are sung beautifully and seemingly effortlessly by the magnificent Paulusma.

For me, the standout tracks are "Over The Hill", "Mea Culpa", and "I Was Made To Love You", but to be fair they are all worthy of mentioning. I think Of Paulusma as a female Damien Rice, and hopefully she will someday rise to the same levels of fame as he has.
