Toni Childs: House of Hope : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | But Childs's dark, quirky alto, and the lyrical but often evasive manner in which she and co-writer David Ricketts structured their songs, failed to attract the mainstream audience that such media coverage would indicate she was ready for. |
 | | House of Hope recalls Union in its dense, eclectic arrangements and atmospheric production; likewise, its songs brim with the same blend of weariness and yearning manifest in the question "Zimbabwae" raises. |
 | | With Ricketts again on board as coproducer, principal co-writer and multi-instrumentalist, Childs enlists further help from a host of distinguished guests, among them Los Lobos guitarist David Hidalgo, ex-Police guitarist Andy Summers and veteran session drummers Jim Keltner and Luis Conte. |
