I delved into Heather Nova when i bought her album Siren, i listened to it twice and really didn't get much out of it, and then on the third listen... wham! it hit me, like it all came together and i got it, well this is my second dip into heather Nova, and this is the second time i've listened to this album, and again it doesn't easily reveal up its secrets, maybe the third listen it will hit me!, can't say i'm a fan of hers either, but someone who's exploring, and giving the lady a chance.
Heather Nova [real name Heather Frith], is from Bermuda, she's now 44 years old, with roughly 10 studio albums behind her now, she's got a great following, on Last FM she has a super similarity with Melissa Etheridge and Natalie Merchant, she recorded this album in 2001, i bought this after the Siren and Oyster albums, i wanted to get the U.S. version of the album, because it has a much nicer front cover picture [by Simon Fowler].
This is only the second time i've listened to this album, so i'm certainly still getting to know it, but already i feel the album has made a big improvement over the first listen i gave it, so it bodes well for the third listen!, most of the tracks sounded pretty much the same, it takes a while to differentiate the individuality of it all, but that will come, i suppose the track which i liked the best was track 4 'Heaven Sent',
