 Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. So one can only expect a baroque pop songstress with a bigger voice than Martha Wainwright, Fiona Apple and Kate Bush combined to blow our collective minds, right?...full text |

| Shara Worden can sing with the best in the business. I could hark on for several paragraphs, delving into the astounding pitch and tonality emanating from Worden’s pipes, but that would get gratuitous. To proceed with this review, however, it must be established that Worden sings as forcefully as an operatic soprano, wrenching the words out with an intricate playfulness rarely seen since the days of Joni Mitchell and Carole King.
