She has channeled all that experience into a collection of beautiful songs contained in a hugely accessible long play list of rootsy sass and melodic invention that has had fawning critics proclaiming it a late contender for debut of the year.

Coming across as a mix between Dido and the singer's inspiration Joni Mitchell, the album mixes rock, pop, country rock, folk and jazzy ambience with the singer sultry feline drawl, which has brought forth comparisons with the likes of Gemma Hayes and Sinead O'Connor in various quarters. To date the album has gone platinum with more than 400,000 units sold in the UK.
Both singles "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" & "Other Side of the World" received huge radio support in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, German, Chile, Mexico , Brazil, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore and now ....Malaysia.
