Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A soulful, heartbroken pop debut, home to 'Stay with Me'. Tender and huge. A breakthrough. A single-album presence that punches well above its weight.

On vinyl: Released during the vinyl resurgence — new copies are readily available from most record shops.
