Anna Ternheim has a pleasant voice, well-suited to lounge and folk music. She reminds me a lot of Suzanne Vega in her vocal tone, and her songs are generally slow-paced folk tunes. While the songs don't really stand out melodically, the album has a generally likable vibe, as Anna's voice draws you in and carries you along on her moody contemplative journey. I like her cover of Fleetwood Mac's Little Lies, slowed down and given a bit of harmonica blues to re-interpret that tune in a fresh way. Anna is a solid talent and fans of female folk, jazz, and lounge singers may enjoy this album.
