p.s. Please come to the U.S.. I’d travel 1,000 miles to see you play that guitar.

I think this is the most talented guitar player I’ve heard in the last 30 years….but I was a little disappointed in most of the songs being popish. Love you girl.

Chantel did warn me that the album versions of her songs were very different from their live counterparts, which I was hoping would be a good thing. Unfortunately for me this album does not hit the spot.

When I first heard Chantel play Fabulous, I thought it was a great driving rock song. I wasn’t expecting the album version to sound like Cheryl Cole meets Lilly Allen. I’ve got to admit though that this could easily be a hit single for her.

Chantel is supremely talented and I wish her every success with this album, although the sooner she releases a live album the better it will be for me.

Sorry, just the opinion of a 50+ old codger!

Great review indeed – hopefully when she’s wisdom toothless she’ll be even better!

I forgot to mention this, but there can be no higher praise for Chantel than to compare her qualities as a vocalist with those of Heather Findlay.

Another quality review you’ve penned there, Tim. Chantel could have easily made an album that focused on her virtuoso guitar playing. Instead, Chantel has shown that she can sing and play many different styles from within the vast universe of rock music. And sound such a natural at whatever she turns her hand to.

I enjoy Chantel’s acoustic work equally as much as the full band electric shows, so I’m pleased to see this acoustic selection. Chantel is also a proper, natural vocalist. Her vocals, especially on Rhiannon, Daydream & Screams Everlasting do show the natural warmth and beauty in her voice.

There’s a number of potential hit singles on there. Free Falling (love the middle eight), the title track and Happy Song for starters. Full of catchy hooks and choruses. I hope that Chantel will get plenty of well deserved air play on Radio Two. On other shows as well as the Paul Jones Show.

Its a very satisying and enjoyable album to listen to.
