As one of two ex-Sugababes that released an album this year, Siobhan is definitely my favorite. Her voice is ethereal and powerful. I downloaded this album long before it was released on the suggestion from one of those fabulous pop sites, and I must admit, that I was instantly taken aback by how interesting many of the songs sounded.
Mostly, I was blown away at the production of many of the songs; they demand attention, in a very “night at the opera” way. Now, they are far from opera, but I can see Siobhan in a full regal outfit, performing a well thought out play, all while singing many of the songs from Ghosts.
If you are a fan of Goldfrapp (thanks Stu!), without the intensity of Goldfrapp that usually turns me off, then Siobhan is your girl. The entire album gives me warm fuzzies all over, and each track begs to be played on repeat.
This is a very, very good (second) solo album from Siobhan, and if this is any indicator of what she is capable of, I can’t wait for more! Perhaps she is like Imogen Heap… hits her stride with the second go round!? All I know, I love Ghosts!
My favorites from Ghosts:
Don’t Give It Up (one of the best songs of all time!!), So You Say, Medevac, There’s a Place, and Sometimes. (click the links for youtube goodness!)
