Eliza Doolittle (album)

Critical reception

Let’s start with the voice. It’s a beautiful, expressive thing: high and clear, with the occasional emotive crack. The pretty melodies and tweeting harmonies are rendered snoozily, as if Eliza’s vocals were recorded just after waking and stretching from a dream-filled sleep.

Track listing

• "Missing" features a sample from the 1959 The Fleetwoods hit "Come Softly to Me"
• "Pack Up" features uncredited vocals from Lloyd Wade and contains elements of "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag"
