Limber rhymes and laid-back jazz confessionals helped announce Coryenne Elliot on this autobiographical debut. Recorded with Roots Manuva producer Will Lotek and characterised by live instrumentation—witness the bouncy horns on “The Key”—Speech Therapy whispers where others shout. “Spinnin’” pits Debelle’s youthful delivery against tinkling piano, “Daddy’s Little Girl” pairs rumbling bass with raw emotion and “Finish This Album” is a string-soaked mission statement that’s as powerful as it is playful.
