Reviews
"Ghosts has a far stronger identity than debut Revolution In Me, which, although a highly adept piece of work, was simultaneously a confused hotchpotch of indie-lite uncertainty. Donaghy functions far more effectively in the more streamlined, tranquil bubble she’s fashioned herself here." - BBC
"Things immediately seem promising as opener Don't Give Up straddles that awkward cleft between Kate Bush's swirling headspin and Bjork's arty-club angles. Building on a bedrock of tasteful electronica, half-spoken vocals of murmur dark threats of 'remote controlling this total ache' before giving way to an angelic choir-us (sic) of how to 'heal and hide'. The flipsides of icy stabbing verses and hot water bottle chorus of Don't Give Up add up to a spooked-out magical soother of a song. So far, so much better than 'the red dress'." - musicOMH
"Donaghy (with knob-twiddling help from Pet Shop Boys cohort James Sanger) re-casts herself as the insouçiant, cut-glass-voiced heiress of eccentric English pop. ‘So You Say’ sounds like Cocteau Twins’ Liz Fraser retreading the ’babes’ own lost classic ‘New Year’, while the backwards vocals and eeriness of the title track sounds like the creepier bits of Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds Of Love’, as produced by Massive Attack. A not insignificant triumph." - NME
"'Ghosts' is bursting with shimmering, floaty loveliness and is perfect listening material for the morning after a bingedrink. It could easily be described as 'ethereal', which would be fair, but such lumpy descriptions may distract you from the fact that this is, at its heart, an incredible pop album." - PopJustice
