About Calhoun :
Though comparisons to Tori Amos are unavoidable, due to the similarities in their gorgeous piano playing, it should be noted that there are differences as well. Calhoun's lyrics are somewhat less obscure, though no less meaningful. It seems that Calhoun might simply be slightly more accessible. Nonetheless, each song will move you in some way or another, and will touch your soul in a way that many of today's shallow, money-grubbing artists simply don't come anywhere near accomplishing. Her lyrics, throughout the course of this album, span an immense gamut of emotions.
The seamlessly astounding blend of piano, strings, and driving drum beats, along with Calhoun's captivating voice (on both lead and backing vocals), can only be described as phenomenal. Calhoun's classical training definitely permeates the sumptuously graceful arrangements, and is clearly identifiable as her voice soars over a rather impressive range.
