    Good Points: Her distinctive vocal ,smooth and sonorous yet wide ranging, excels. Part Karen Carpenter, part Joan Baez, she has that rare gift of bringing a tear to the eye. Unlike many contemporary singer- songwriters she pronounces each syllable with care and attention.


    General comments: With one album behind her, the Beverley Craven influenced 'Velvet Glove', this newer material has a stripped back acoustic flavour. The title song 'Forbidden Fruit' is an original in the style of French chanson, whilst Paul's musical palette also dips into folk, world and especially bossanova, both for original material and the covers of Burt Bacharach that she includes in her shows.


    This is very different from the earlier album 'Velvet Glove', but actually I like it more. Current favourite to play in the car.
