With the hit album "Spirit Room" Michelle Branch was able to convince. First of all: The new album is good! For real. Only somehow missing a the brilliant hit songs, which were still to be found on the first album. Clear: "Are You Happy Now?" in turn, is one of those songs. Really well is also slightly older duet with Santana "The Game Of Love". But soon even this CD does not reach "Spirit Room". So do not get me wrong. "Hotel Paper" is a very good album. That is why four stars. But who does not know Michelle Branch, which should listen to the album "Spirit Room" perhaps first. This has simply a little better songs.
