Soulful, solid and worth your time
Occasionally, one stumbles across a gem from EMusic, and I think this qualifies. If Adele weren't quite so moody and self absorbed (I LIKE Adele, just sayin'), she might put out a set of tunes like Til the Casket Drops. A little KT Tunstall, a little Paloma Faith - confident and well produced, it really is a rare find in the pop music realm these days. Not every tune is a "wow that's great" piece, some are forgettable. But taken as a whole, a genuinely great effort, with a few real diamonds. Pick the ones you like, or grab em' all, you'll be pretty happy with it.
