CD Reviews

Undiscovered?
Daniel M. Cohen | Santa Monica CA | 11/23/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I don't "review", but I felt compelled to say something about this so far, unheralded, arrival. "Scissors in My Pocket," in my opinion, is the the most engaging album of original material since Patty Griffin appeared on the singer/songwriter scene. But Polly Paulusma, who I understand, hails from the UK, is completely her own woman. This, unlike so many other singer/songwriter debuts boasts its own special identity. The music and lyrics are are fresh and arresting, delivered with a distinctive rhythm and diction. Ms. Paulusma's delicate, but insistent voice is the perfect vehicle for her quietly arresting material. Given the smoothly understated style, you might first look to the success of Norah Jones as the ignition for Ms. Paulusma's discovery, but the light she sheds is truly her own. Try as I might, I couldn't find "filler" on this album. Will she join the ranks of Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro one day? Who knows, but "Scissors" is a delight all the way through, with outstanding high points."
Good Sound!

"This is classy stuff, and it is Polly's own style. Shades of Mindy Smith, Norah Jones and the late Janis Joplin, and throw a little Carol King in there. She has the lyrical and melodic feel of a young Elton John, fresh, sometimes bluesy and intellectually honest."
