Too often graceful voices like Amanda Marshall's are sunk by

Amanda's first single Let It Rain is well-felt with many a plaintive wail from her fine, smoke-tinged voice. The keyboard wrapped Birmingham does not do as well, its programmatic atmosphere touched up occasionally by a soprano sax. Saddled by hollow lyrics, Fall From Grace is enthused by the lilt of her clean, natural voice. Following is the sleepy Dark Horse, quaint, but too restrained. The soft tones of Beautiful Goodbye are lovingly lulling and its harder toned finished fresh, but Sitting On Top Of The World is modest and unmemorable. Acoustic with cello, Last Exit To Eden is hushed and handsomely refined. Trust Me (This Is Love) is nicely sung but has somewhat stilted music. Let's Get Lost comes closest to the quality of her first single, Let It Rain. Bass, guitar and drums form a bed which nourishes the vitality of her vocals, instead of acting as filler as on other songs here. The closer Promises has keyboard sprinkles that add to the familiar and honest sense of the song. Too often graceful voices like Amanda Marshall's are sunk by banal lyrics; she does admirably with the material here.
