3rd solo studio album by Lisa Ekdahl shows new sides to her talent. Musically, she has moved into a more traditional pop / rock sphere. The album is nicely produced with broader arrangements and also more uptempo songs without touching on rock, although, there's still room for acoustic-driven compositions. It's still with focus on story-telling and songs about relationships - happy as well as unhappy ones. The overall impression leaves me thinking it's a little too much honey - it's as if her sincerity is washed away with the sugary arrangements, and it makes me long for her more simple compositions.
