I don't know much about Tanya Donelly, except that she was in a band called Belly. Belly's music is awesome, particularly the vocals, so I wanted more. After doing some research, I realized that the lead singer was Tanya and Belly is not producing music anymore.So, I had to find out who the singer from Belly was, and it was Tanya. She has a wonderful voice and I took a chance on this disc after reading other favorable reviews on Amazon.Many time when I listen to a disc, I have to listen to it many times before I can get in to in. That was not the case with this disc. From the first listen, it is a great disc. I am not a music critic, so I can't tell you what is better or worse between this and the music from Belly. It does not seem the same to me, but since I liked Tanya's voice so much in Belly, this music was just as fantastic.She is a great singer and writer and this disc is worth a listen.
