Soul’s front Take-Off to Landing, listeners will be well aware that Starr is ready for take-off. Starr, who has been play ing in coffeehouses and clubs since high school, makes a great effort to break out of both the country and rock genre. Her music can be described as Roots or Americana, and her sound is one of an amateur transforming into a professional. Starr wrote every song on the album and places her skills in guitar and percussion on a silver platter for listeners. The third track on the album, “Serves Me Right,' could be the tune of anyone who has had his or her heart broken. It highlights Starr’s rough and sweet vocals when she sings. "It serves me right. I guess for gladly volunteering for a good kick in my chest... lor pm- tending not to notice I was settling for less." "Madness" is a guitar- drenched song pumped up with gixxl percussion. Country veteran Mary Chapin Carpenter lends her vocals to “Silent Night" and “Hardest Part of Living.” Another song on the album. "5 Minutes.” has the darkness of a Lucinda Williams or Aimee Mann tune with lyrics such as "It feels like love, is this how you make me pay. brand ing me with deep cuts that w ill never go away.” Starr has mastered her songwriting skills in a very short time. In fact, she spent August opening for Melissa Etheridge. True to her name. Starr seems to be headed to the top. because of her weight gain, and features Slick Rick rapping. "Vf of the story is desire is important so watch your weight." "Undress Me Now, "Way Beyond and ’Get Along" returns Morcheeba s early melancholic sounds. One of the last songset album. "Public Displays of Affection’ features smooth lyrics(Lt "They ’re for all to see, self-contained lovers welded orally”).

"Slow Down’ and "Otherw ise” set the tone for the rest of the album and proudly announces that Morcheeba has returned to its axils. “Otherwise” continues w here Morcheeba left off w ith the eerie vocals of Skye Edwards and fluid-like music of brothers Ross and Paul Godfrey. "Aqualung” may have the staccato keyboard sounds found on a Britney Spears track, but Morcheeba produces any thing but pop. On the blissful track “Sao Paulo,” Edwards lets her vocals glide along to the Godfrey brothers’ hip-hop. electronica and tropical beats. The album seems to take a dive around songs such as “What New York Couples Fight About” and “Women Lose" Weight."
