What an album. Breakdown is pure joy. I just love her voice on the warmer tracks in particular - that, Honey, Babydoll and the unnecessary but nonetheless brilliant cover of The Beautiful Ones. The sadder songs (My All, The Roof, Outside) are brilliant also, with some of the best lyrics of her career, but it's the richer, dreamer side of the album that really sings to me. A towering classic and artistic magnus opus and yet, somehow, still an underrated record.

I don't know how to embed a GIF anymore, but imagine I inserted Nene Leakes "I SAID what I SAID" here
 
Still I feel like a child as I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon...


What a song. So hopeful and sad all at once. One of my favourite vocals by her.
 
The Stereogum review of every US #1 has reached Honey, FYI
