[Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]. Amazon.ca Lucy Woodward isn't just a blonde pop princess trying to jump onto the tail end of a dying medium. Oh no, this 26-year-old chanteuse has grit in her honeyed voice and scores to settle on her debut album. All 11 tracks were written or co-written by Woodward, who also had the foresight to bring in a bevy of studio ringers like Who bassist Pino Palladino and Bob Dylan drummer Kenny Aronoff to give her fierce songs of love and willfulness the proper send-off. But Woodward ably holds her own in such elevated company: "Dumb Girls" is a self-deprecating, no-holds-barred look at getting hoodwinked in the romantic wars. With lines like, "You bring out the blonde in me," you just know this man isn't ever getting a second chance. On "Trouble With Me," Woodward ponders why she's alone, while on "What's Good For Me" she knows, deciding to quit picking on herself and trust her own intuition. The daughter of an opera singer and a BBC musicologist, Woodward is bristling with talent and canny rhythmic timing, but stylistically she's still all over the map, veering between the ire of Missy Elliott and the sweet soulfulness of Sheryl Crow. Once she hones in on her own voice, she's going to be unstoppable. --Jaan Uhelszki
