Well, she sounds nothing like early Kate Bush, but she is interesting.
One of those discs I picked up because a friend had read some good
reviews.  At first I wasn't too impressed but it grew on me and now I love
it.  Still can't bear to play the first cut, though (too sappy).

it is dramatic pop music with some wonderfully quirky touches.  She
reminds me a little more of Jane Siberry than early Kate, but there's not
much resemblance there, either. 

It's definitely a taste issue, but I like her a lot.  Just don't expect to
hear Kate other than perhaps as a rather submerged influence.
