Toby Lightman is the first female voice to come along in a long time that displays true musical talent. The lyrics she puts together in her songs tell a story - make you think about what you´re hearing. They range in topics from the laid back "Running Away" to the powerful "The River" (my favorite on the album) and songs like "Front Row" about her interaction with a (fictional) audience member "Don´t Wanna Know" which is alomst the opposite point of view - from the fan´s perspective of thier idol. Of course these are just my takes on the songs, and that´s what makes them so great, you really sit and think about what they mean and figure out different scenarios. And best yet, you can actually understand what she´s saying. She is completely original. I don´t understand much of the comparisons that have been made in her style. I would agree she is in the same genre as many of the other artists she has been compare
