“it's their music that really matters, and I'm glad to say that it's rather good.â€
“embittered lyrics, which have more bite than you'd expect from something this radio-friendly.â€
“There's clearly a very competent band behind the simple-but-effective backing, and the production is admirably slick.â€
“all in all StrangeA have done a good job of walking the tightrope between mass appeal and schmaltz. I suspect that Nicola's disjunct vocal melodies, sung in a British accent, will find a welcome home in the current landscape of UK pop."
