She was on the cover of the Sunday Times Culture supplement a few weeks back.
The writer was extolling the album to great heights but without actually sounding like he/she had heard it. It sounded like an amazingly edgy album until the mooted track titles were dropped into the mix... which made it sound like a half baked songs-from-the-shows album. Hmmm.
I'd love it to be amazing... she was incredible in 'Mary Poppins'.

Went to her Showcase in the West End last week and was really surprised! I've always known that she was a great singer with a wonderful voice but she had a great stage presence and the five tracks that she performed live were amazing. Not your expected "standards" either. Great covers of Nick Drake's River Man and Paul Weller's You Do Something To Me - this was so good that I got goosebumps! Her new material is very good and she's been writing with Guy Chambers, Jaime Cullum and Neil Hannon. Quite a bit more "ballsy" than I was expecting. Heard the entire album after the showcase and was very impressed. You can read more about it here: www.allforlaura.co.uk/News.htm
