When reviewed as an independent (as 'Last Of The Hopeless Romantics') this got a coveted 10 squares and now that Authentic have wisely picked up the distribution of this delightful five-song item I can report it has lost none of its magic. Esther has a fine voice of pristine purity, the production by Sting man Kipper is exceptional and both "Last Of The Hopeless Romantics" and "Safe House" are songs of the highest order.
