'Everytime I play a track from this album on the radio, I get callers;"What was that beautiful thing you played after the news..."James Valentine, ABC

'fascinating, very beautiful.... it's amazing'Don Burrows

The Dream is a musical and engaging album, characterised by its lyricism and emotional integrity... Elizabeth has really come into her own. From the opening tune, the gentle Until I've Show You Paris, she commands the listener with her poignant, yearning vocal style and tender piano playing. The arrangements are creative and texturally rich... Furthermore, there are some thoughtful, probing ideas and beautiful imagery contained in the lyrics. ..Same World, Different Eyes, for example, deals with the corruption of childhood naivety by the adult sense of futility and the love songs, like The Dream, avoid obvious cliches, exploring instead the complexities and contradictions involved in romantic affairs.

This is a musically interesting and honest album, an impressive debut from a most promising singer/songwriter.
