Scissors
in My Pocket
The most striking thing about ‘Scissors in My Pocket
is how much it sounds like Norah Jones. It’s so laid
back, horizontal isn’t an adequate description; days
of summer are conjured are with innocence but knowing at
the same time. Palusma’s voice is rather like Jones’ too
but it’s not totally with her South London accent creeping
in. The album is very pretty and this is all very well and
good however it’s somewhat bland and it feels as if
Palusma hasn’t really stamped her personality on it.
There is one exception to the rule in ‘One Day that’s
pace and quite serious. Apart from that, ‘Scissors
in My Pocket’ is a bit faceless.
