    A resplendent albeit slightly cloying selection of meticulously arranged songs, bloated with instrumental detail and performed in a way that makes the sound like a revived soundtrack for some old, forgotten art house movie. [Oct 2014, p.61]

    They are uniformly wise and lovely, and by turns elliptical, sad, even political, whatever.

    The good news is that Something Shines also enriches her puritanical sonic palette with lush instrumentation, mid-song tempo shifts and free-jazz digressions. [Oct 2014, p.77]

    Although much of the material has a familiar lustre to it, Something Shines nonetheless finds Laetitia Sadier at her most contented and focused.

    As ardent and inviting as Something Shines and We Are Divine both are, Sadier seems content at this point to coo to the converted.
