The bluesy easy-going "TV Show" has an engrossing stream-like lyrical flow. There's an array of uncabaret strings in the background that are effective, yet subtle. The singsong uncabaret "Maker" is enchanting, especially when the lush array of background vocals in the chorus kick in. The somber stripped-down acoustic "Who was I kidding" is heavyhearted, yet not overdone. The elegant piano balled "Whiter I Must Wander" is the perfect way to close out the album, ending on a whisper. Martha Wainwright's debut is a truly wonderful listen, through and through. It's brutally honest, uncabaret yet not melodramatic, confident, yet never cocky. Martha Wainwright is an amazing and very promising talent. One of the best CDs of 2005.
