"It's a music industry story as old as time: DIY folkie signs to major, becomes tired of compromise, leaves label and sets off on tour across South America, sustained exclusively by the food and makeshift beds provided by fans and their families. The "if you book me a gig, I'll come and stay" method Lucy Rose employed throughout Latin America, where she has an unexpectedly healthy audience, rejuvenated her career, but her globetrotting exploits have had no influence on her willowy sound.There are flecks of the retro chic of noughties revivalist Rumer on Not Good at All, and the mellower end of UK noughties indie - Turin Brakes - on Soak It Up. Moirai quivers with smooth sentimentality, and the album's highlight, Second Chance, is just the right dose of chintzy lounge pop. It may have been born from a place of disruption in Rose's life, but Something's Changing is unabashed easy listening to its core".

"Music that manages to embody the spirit of travel and the importance of shared experience ... Beneath the veneer of cool riffs and hipster chic, there are songs that shift between being so moving I'm almost bought to tears - "Is This Called Home" is about the refugee crisis - and songs with impressive collaborators like The Staves, or Elena Tonra of Daughter, who co-sings "Soak It Up", with silken, whispery harmonies and gentle drum brushes. Whether it's the spirit of travel, or a knack for what music means to different people, there is something more at play here than your average acoustic act on the festival circuit".
