4 stars Amazing vocals
It is so refreshing to see an artist with an actual vocal range. It's is not everyone who can successfully blend a first soprano range into popular music, but Runga does it effortlessly. When I heard "Sway" the first time I was mesmerized, and I bought her cd on a whim and lucked out. It is some of the most unique, beautiful and prolific "popular music" I have ever heard.
