    Thankfully, there are no extraneous Latino musical quirks tacked on, instead she is at er best at her most intimate, albeit with a new gust of openness from her far-flung adventures. [Aug 2017, p.110]

    With songcraft and performances on point here, Something's Changing is Rose's most exquisite album to date and her most moving ("It's just a song, but without it, would I have told you this?").

    Something’s Changing is a culmination of much-welcomed growth for Rose.

    Thankfully, on third full-length Something’s Changed Rose seems to have dispensed with an ardent desire to please. She’s embraced her inner Beth Orton, and she’s ploughing her own furrow.

    Something’s Changing isn’t without flaws--‘Soak It Up’’s shuffling tempo jars, whilst the orchestral leanings of closer ‘I Can’t Change It All’ are at odds with the rest of the record--but it sees Lucy Rose easing into the next stage of her career.

    It is difficult, however, to detect any Latin influence upon what is another collection of lilting, lulling Joni Mitchell Pastiches pitched largely between winsome and the twee. [Aug 2017, p.37]

    The music is lovely, but the singer's vibrato sounds so forced, clinical, and unnatural it detracts from the experience.
