“On “Simple,” she plays it, well, simple. But while the sweet little tune floats on the breeze, repeatedly returning to a hypnotic melody, it features some deceptively complicated vocal turns and clever production.”
— Jed Gottlieb / Boston Herald“That is the mental space from which ‘Simple’ came; the idea that not everything needs to be perfectly articulated or overly complex to be valid or make sense. Sometimes, what intuitively feels good is the most important.”
