I first came into contact with this female singer-singwriter at the Dingwalls club in Camden, London. Like a nascent star emerging from the depth of a black hole her voice and beauty shone through the darkness of the venue. I left feeling drained, emotionally, physically, and financially. I was doubtful whether the intimacy and power of Ms Deightons songs could be translated to CD but, boy, have those studio boffins done a mighty fine job. The listener is taken on an emotional rollercoaster of a ride, from the jubilant peaks of songs such as Infinitely High to the meloncholic fragility of Be Easy on Me. The singers voice is at times intimate, others powerful, but always mellifluous. Her songs cover subjects with which we can all relate: Ideal Me (the troubles of finding a soulmate), the veritable epic Bruised (the pain of rejection), Instant Fix (an indescrible joy experienced with the one you love), Crazy World Tomorrow (erm..).
If you only buy one album this year, which is incredibly frugal to put it mildly, make sure its Truth Drug. Sublime.

Lets be honest music is all about feelings and there are loads stacked on this album. For me there is not a song which stands out above the rest as they are all as good as one another, catchy, rythmical and easy to take on board even though the production may be a wee bit shinny. Ms Deighton gives a turley sensual performance with her wonderul sultry even sometimes provocative delivery. It does leave me wondering what her next project will reveal, but for now slap this into your system and enjoy the ride. A real treat for dreamers as we all need to lose ourselves sometimes :o)

A really excellent album, with great music and lyrics
Haunting, beautiful, moving, envigorating
I bought this at the same time as K.T. Tunstall and Abraham, and this is easily my favourite album of the three

Haunting Voice
I first saw Rosalie when she played and sang with the Deighton Family, when she was 13 or 14 years old. Even then, her voice had a charm of it's own.. Read more

Promising
Fantastically emotionally expressive vocals but stylistically all over the place! Very promising though...
