This is a far better debut album than anyone has a right to expect, showing off as it does Rose's developing songwriting skills in a well recorded and lively environment.
Rose Kemp has a lovely expressive voice which is shown to full effect over a balanced set of mostly self-penned songs which lean at times towards a jazz air, whilst maintaining their own stamp of individuality. The album is sensibly not overlong, 42 minutes is ample for the twelve cuts, and the overall effect leaves the listener wanting to hear it again, which when you get down to it is all you can ask for really.
Standout tracks, for me, are "Individual" and "His Music", but that isn't to denigrate the remainder. All in all, it's well worth the money and I for one shall be looking forward to Rose's future efforts.
A very good beginning and Rose is a credit to herself and to her parents, whose influence comes through in the maturity of this recording.

In my humble opinion, this album is awesome - an unbelievable debut. Hard to truly categorise - why bother anyway - but useful comparisons are Sara McLachlan, Dar Williams and maybe Rickie Lee Jones. A true singer songwriter - destined to bloom and get better.
Annoyingly overlooked by the media (I think Bob Harris played a couple of tracks when it first came out), Rose suffers from being on a label that lacks the marketing muscle that went behind James Blunt.
Lyrically, the tracks show a maturity way behind her years, and her voice has a very distinct power - one we are destined to hear a lot of in the future. This is an album that definitely grows on you over time, and never loses its appeal.
For me, Falls, Individual and Boy Coloured Girl stand out - but there really is nothing that disappoints. A really well-crafted collection of songs.

I last heard this album 'Glance' about 5 years ago in a little cafe in the north of England where Rose actually sang live most weeks on the acoustic night! This album is great, the condition is perfect and the all the tracks are catchy, rhythmic and packed with haunting vocals. Brought back lots of wonderful memories. Superb CD!
