Her voice has matured since the first couple of albums. I remember seeing her do ‘The Book of Right On’ on Jools Holland’s show and thinking she sounded like a little girl, but it may have been an affectation.

Her control in I guess what you might call the ‘chorus’ in the video Charles posted - This part:

Sang: Do you love me?
Will you remember?
The snow falls above me
The renderer renders:
The event is in the hand of God

is seriously on point. She’s singing some pretty difficult intervals there.

Agreed, but I just can’t decide if it is purposeful, affectation, or accidental. She’s kind of like a combo of Kate and Sinead.
