There's something of Heather Nova's vocal purity in Nesrin Sen's appealing voice. She writes delicate, slightly jazzy songs on this debut. "Ocean" has typically poetic lyircs and a sweetly orchestrated melody. The mysteriously hushed "Star 10" has some gorgeous singing. Its gentle pace allows it space to grow.

"Love is like Fire" is the most jazz-tinged, blue-tinted song on this album. Sen uses her flexible, angelic voice to its fullest and the song becomes her.

"Out of the Clouds" raises the tempo a little and allows Sen's feistier side some room with good results. This album is a wonderful thing.
