This. It's been worth every second we've waited! It's full of surprises. It covers so much ground but still hangs together so well and feels so complete.
As someone already noted, it feels authentically Stevie. I don't feel like we're getting Stevie filtered through Dave Stewart (there was too much Sheryl Crow on TISL) -- it really feels like this is the record Stevie wanted to make, and her mark is on every track at every level.
Wide Sargasso Sea is the instant standout track for me. It has an incredible Smile At You energy to it -- sassy and fierce and angry and sexy!
I'm so glad we can share this experience together!
