Seeing Basia live at the Calgary Folk Fest where she went down a storm ( working the stage on her own and with the Great Lake Swimmers ) was great, she has already started adapting her songs from the album, the standout tracks being In the Night and I was a Daughter.

Her vocal has more depth and complexity to it than most of the other female singers around and this is what sets her apart.

See her live if you can.

Bulat has an amazing, unique, poetic voice. Every song on this album is great -- you won't want to take it out of your cd player, and you'll worry that you'll get tired of it because you listen to it so much, but it's too good to get old. It has an enchanting sort of quality that makes each song sound fresh no matter how many times you've heard it.

The only problem with this album is that I wish there was more of it. Best CD I've bought all year.

She has been called the next Feist, and after hearing her album, Basia Bulat certainly lives up to the hype. Slightly darker with more of a classical feel to it, Oh My Darling maybe not have as many catchy tracks as The Reminder but it be playing on your ipod for just as long. Pick up the CD and hear the future of Canadian indie. Standout Tracks: Little Waltz and I Was A Daughter.

This is a great cd with songs you'll want to hear over and over again. My favourite - The Pilgriming Vine. Bulat has a unique voice and her lyrics are intelligent. Great back up orchestra with a really interesting soundscape - where else can you find a combination of ukelele and cello?
