I do love Illume. She's always been an uneven songwriter, especially since 1985 onward, but when the songs hit, they totally hit: Illume, Everybody Finds Out, Throw Down, Blue Denim, Annabelle Lee...
The problem these days is, as you noticed, her voice. The song Lady is incredible, but it's a one-off, the strained vocal actually fits the theme and feel of the song.
