Margaret is a one-lady band, as she wrote all the music, played all the instruments (piano, guitar, cello and violin) and provided all the vocals, The material is mainly simple and straightforward, slow to medium tempo-wise, with a mix of worship, story songs and one instrumental item. I'm not sure about Margaret's voice; at times ifs a little quavery, as if she can't hit the notes; at other times it's clear and accurate. Production is OK, but there's no spark to ignite the passion and lift this album above the average.
