Licorice Kiss is a gorgeous album from Juliet. Her original material is beautifully written; great lyrics, at once honest and poetic. The title track is one that will stay in your head for days on end! Juliet's voice is warm, sensual, and very emotive. I also love the cover versions on the album, particularly a heart-wrenching version of Here Comes The Rain Again, which is quite possibly the most lovely version of the song that I've heard.
The album is a great introduction to Juliet's brand of smooth, soulful 'glam-jazz' for those who haven't heard her work before, and a great follow up to her previous albums for those who have.
If you get the chance, go and see Juliet in concert, as she's also a very engaging and sophisticated live performer.
Thumbs up!
