Okay, it has to be said that since there are so many female solo pop artists sprouting up these days, to make any sort of impact you have to be pretty special. Well, word from the States is that Sarah (the daughter of worship leader and songwriter Gary Sadler who's written classics like "Ancient Of Days") is one such special case, and guess what? They're right. Opener "Beautiful" is perfect radio-friendly pop. Not ground breaking, but excellent none the less. "Best Thing" continues the theme, and whilst there's no doubt that this is standard radio pop, the quality, married to Sarah's fragile, haunting voice - best evidenced on "Orbit" which makes clever use of strings - pulls this head and shoulders above much of the formulaic fare currently doing the rounds. A fine debut.
