This is probably one of the best album for driving at night.

I agree with my fellow reviewer - this is a quite introspective, overall solid debut album. Many great moments, some obvious flaws. Not groundbreaking, but certainly an artistic achievement which deserves respect. Far more personal, honest and "self-made" music than the average faceless minimal fare. It makes sense that she named the album after herself, making a statement, saying: "This is MY take on music". What happens here is basically:1) A female artist makes good music.2) The music gets promoted on the female artist being a woman and her good looks.3) Media do the math: good music AND a woman AND good looks = switch on the hype machine!4) People who haven't heard the female artist's music yet do the math: a woman AND good looks AND media hype = "... the music must be pretty shite if they have to promote it on her looks and sex ..." "... she's probably just another model muppet trying to gain ground in the music world ..."5) Finally, the good music the female artist has made is met with a certain negative prejudice by people who hear or read about it in the media first.6) The more hype something gets, the more tempting it becomes for people to make themselves look like true connaisseurs by flaming and hating it without even knowing about it.Who's fault?No one's, of course.Just the way the world works ...

This is a very controversial release. Some people say that there are a lot of hype and marketing around it. I wouldn’t argue with their point of view. They may be quite right. Though I’d like to mention that hype and marketing don’t always exclude such things as talent and self-expression. I believe that this album is a good example of my words. Well, maybe there’s hype here, but this release is not empty inside. I clearly hear and feel how she expresses her character and emotions through these tracks. Some of them are very personal and subtle, others are strong, forward and confident. Some people say that it’s not house music at all. Well, they may be partly right again. It’s not typical dance house. There are some ambient and even downtempo parts here. These tracks are not the best ones for dancing but these tracks are really worth listening. Because through them the artist expresses herself, her character, feelings and emotions. Such self-expression through music is not an easy thing to do. But she’s managed to do that and she’s done it masterly in a very stylish way. The emotional part is crucial on this release and it affects or maybe even dominates the sound. This album is too expressive. And it may be regarded differently. Probably some people don’t like such a strong presence of the artist’s personality in the music. And that’s why they appraise this release so low. I don’t know their reasons but it’s ok for me and I really enjoyed this album.
