Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell

Blake Hazard’s debut is wonderful. Her enchanting voice and strong songs make for a great listen.

“Waiting” is as great a pop song as you could wish for. It’s bouncy but melancholy and leaves plenty of space for Hazard’s engaging singing.

The restrained “Reservoir” uses a lovely acoustic guitar as a setting for the song.

Blake Hazard’s voice echoes Juliana Hatfield here. The album’s production is great, thanks to Hazard’s husband John Dragonetti.

“In the Sun” is a folksy, ethereal-sounding song. Hazard’s multi-tracked voice is used to beguiling effect.

“Glittering” uses an electronica-influenced production to create an unsettling and beautiful song.

“Little Aeroplane” is a record that deserves investigation.
