Got the album the other day - it's very impressive. I absolutely love the single "So You Say". One of the singles of the year for me. I can't understand why she's not huge!

Never heard of her, so I've just been onto iTunes to have a listen and wow! She's great. Think I'm going to download that new one. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yay a convert! It really is a great tune. And the album is just as good. Digital Spy gave it a rave review recently.

I downloaded the album out of curiosity and it is absolutely brilliant. I've been recommending it to all my friends and it blows Mutya's album out of the water that's for sure.

One of the stand out tracks for me is Medevac. An absolutely stunning song that i haven't stopped raving about. Anyone else like this? If you haven't heard it i urge you to download it now

I got the album, too. It's not my usual style of music but it's a really great album. I've supported Siobhan since her debut album, though

Ghosts, the song, is soooo good. Medevac is pretty amazing, too. You can listen to both on her MySpace page at www.myspace.com/siobhandonaghyparlophone

The album is currently "top 70" She does deserve to be bigger. Check out Revolution In Me, too. That album is one of my faves.

Well, they're one of her influences, I think.

She has a really good sound but it's been really overlooked. It's not "pop" enough to be noticed by the chart buyers, but not completely different enough to be picked up by the "indie" crowd (meaning those who look for different music, not boring bands with guitars indie )

Ghosts (the album) is complete amazing. I was only expecting a couple of stand out tracks, but they're all impressive, though in particular Goldfish, Medevac and So You Say are the stand-outs, the musical equivalent of taking a deep breath of fresh air.

See, this is what's known as "the curse of the Donaghy" in her little cult. Everyone who hears the album thinks it's great, and reviews (except Q magazine!) are positive... yet she practically flops.

I agree, though. It it was a massive success I think it'd take something away from the album. I like having something that most don't have.
