Jo Hamilton: Gown ★★★★

“‘Gown’ is the sort of album that will spread from music lover to music lover purely by word of mouth - it’s adult, but never pretentious; slick, but never sickly. In a world of La Roux, Little Boots and Lady Gaga, this is an unashamedly grown-up record that dares to step out of the boxes we have reserved for our female singer-songwriters.”
