I only recently came across Katell Keineg even though I was very familiar with at least one of her songs and had inadvertently heard her as a backing artist. One of my favourite songs on Natalie Merchant's live album has long been "Gulf of Araby". I knew Natalie Merchant had not written it even though it is sometimes attributed to her, but for whatever reason I never tracked down the original. I recently came a across another live performance by Natalie Merchant on YouTube in which she introduced the song as being written by Katell Keineg and so I stared exploring. And I soon became quite entranced by her work and this album in particular has become a firm favourite.  open.qobuz.com/album/p88z77xwqscgc |

I'll have to come back to this. 4 tracks in and all it's doing for me so far is giving me a headache. She's got one of those "shouty" voices on a lot of what I've heard so far, and the only bits I've liked, Joan Armatrading does better.
It might just be me, so I'll definitely give it another crack later in the week.

Overall pretty good. Cut is nicely recorded, Bop even better. I do hear a slightly grating quality to her voice, a bit like Julia Fordham but lower register and not as smooth. I'll score it 4/5 which on your inverse scale is 2.

Sorry, Pete. I did give this another go and I still can't get past her voice, I just don't like it. a "3" is the best I could manage.

Sorry I missed this or subconsciously avoided female vocal
Music good, vocals too enthusiastic for me, too 'loud'
Calm down as Barrington said
