I have the album. It's not bad. I REALLY like "Love Song". It's easily my favorite single of '08, even though it came out in '07. It's about as pop as early VC, in my opinion, and it rocks. There's nothing else quite like that on the album, but that's OK. In a strange way, it reminds me of my own amateurish banging on the keys---people say that I play piano like a drummer---but maybe I'm a sucker for that quarter-note feel. The chorus almost wants to be a shuffle.
Like the song or hate it, you gotta respect the craft. It's well written, and I've seen a few live clips that IMO had a little more oomph than the studio track.
I'm all for hearing more from Sara.
