The sound of her voice has always been something special and are also these very different songs that certain something. In these productions, more emphasis was placed on that Anette is the focus. She sings no longer against the bombastic music of a metal band, which live also the one time or another sound disastrous. Although it is not (more) belong here, I have to draw a comparison with Nightwish at their time. (Sorry to those who no longer want to hear or read it!).
Now critics might say that Anette in the studio never had big problems. Use small live clips I could convince myself, but that it is with these songs made for them live much better.
The selected song appear to be a trip through Anette's feelings on the way to an independent career. Emotional but also with times powerful, sometimes quieter tones know to tie their pieces. At first hearing, however, bothered me a kind of "overproduction" that everything was more seem to be correct and ironed. After repeated passage I realize it is not much. Therefore, only one star deduction.
But all in all I can say: Everything fits together, what one also notes the album. The listener has to let it just sink in, give him two or three chances. It's worth it!
