Anyone got the 'Two Suns' album yet? I downloaded one track - 'The Big Sleep' - because it features Scott Walker. Can't make up my mind about her. I know she's been compared to Tori Amos and, for my money, she certainly falls into the category of singers who use their voices as musical instruments but should I buy this album? That's today's question!

Got it but only played it once as I bought quite a few albums in the last two weeks and haven't had much time to sit down and listen.

She's on Jools tonight so check that out.

I saw her the last time she was on Jools and didn't rate her that much - but a lot of people seem to be raving about her new album and Stephen Fry even Twittered about it!

She have a interesting image on stage, but otherwise the music is quite pedestrian. She ain't Kate Bush, but then, who is.

I've listened to the first half of the album, I like it but I'm not overwhelmed by it. But that's only judged on the one listen.

I enjoyed 'Sleep Alone' on Jools last night but only saw the last half hour so don't know if she performed any other tracks

I've never come across this lot before.

I watched Jools and was really taken in by them. I will certainly be checking them out again.
