    The melodies are sunny, but Red Kite glimpses the brilliant glare of summer through a morning fog which stubbornly refuses to clear. [Aug 2015, p.94]

    There are some familiarly sunny pop moments on here, including Hearts Are For Breaking, which trundles along like a Deborah Harry solo single, and the rather nice Take The Silver, a nu-folk single in the making, featuring The Rails and including a brilliant three-part vocal chorus.

While I enjoyed LIPSLIDE, some people felt its sound was too similar to Saint Etienne and doesn't differentiate enough. While that might be true, I still enjoyed it. She was echoing the dance feel from Saint Etienne.

    This time she truly has differentiated herself. The songs have a 1960s folksy, pastural feel and there aren't any dance tracks on here this time around. Not a bad thing. These songs sounds like Sarah poured her heart and soul into them and it shows. This will make it into my top 10 albums of the year. Enjoy!    … Full Review »
