Comments:

A collection of heartfelt, mournful, pop songs. Debbie Chou's vocals are highlighted, along with her lovely piano work, especially on such songs as "Sad Beautiful Eyes." There are occasional touches of country and blues, but these are flavours in what is mostly alternate pop. Definitely worth checking out! (sophiagurley@hotmail.com)
