Worth Getting Used To

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The song "Across the Sky" is the original reason I purchased this album, hoping for the rest to be similar. It isn't. However, each song is wonderful and unique, albeit different from the others. Songs like "How Strange" have an almost modern R&B feel, while songs like "Ever" feel more like Fiona Apple. "Save You" is reminiscent of world music, or the New Age Genre, and "If You Feel Better" can best be described by the word "tango." Autumn's style of singing is different, and slightly grating to the untrained ear, but after you've listened to each song a few times, you can't imagine it done any other way. Autumn's talent is apparent from the start. She quotes Shakespearean sonnets, has an incredible talent with the violin and seems quite gifted with the harpsichord. I can't tell you what you like, but I will say that I have never been sorry I purchased this album."
