Foothills
Higher than 10% of albums we've rated

The album showcases solid songwriting and production but lacks standout depth or cohesion across its tracks.

What we noticed

  • The first track opens with a bright horn section that sets an upbeat tone, which is maintained through the next three tracks before a shift to more introspective themes.
  • Kiki Dee's vocal delivery varies from smooth and melodic in 'If It Rains' to more powerful and emotive in 'You Put Something Better Inside Me'.
  • Several tracks feature layered backing vocals and harmonies that enhance the soulful feel, particularly evident in 'Supercool' and 'Amoureuse'.
