a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Black Box Recorder's lead singer goes solo and sounds not unlike that band.
Nixey's distinctive very English voice opens the disc saying, "This is Sarah Nixey talking".
This is classy, superior electronic pop music with a dark heart.
"Beatiful Oblivion" is a pulsating, danceable track with a gorgeous vocal lead.
The first single "Strangelove" heads for the dancefloor too, but sounds icily detached thanks to Nixey's singing.
"The Collector" gets its inspiration from a frightening novel by John Fowles about a girl who gets abducted by a madman. It's haunted and strangely uptempo as Nixey sings it from his viewpoint.
"Endless Circles" is a sweet song with a nice chorus.
Nixey also covers a Human League song nicely.
It's a beautiful solo debut.
