Well. Laura Tsaggaris has accomplished the impossible. The singer/songwriter has turned "Oops, I Did It Again" into a compelling tune. Don't believe it? Listen here (at www.lauratsaggaris.com) and prepare to be moved. In fact, we will definitively say that Laura's version is the definitive one. But, really, comparisons with Mrs. Federline are way off the mark, because Laura is an actual artist, with a genuine talent for writing songs and singing them with conviction. - Washington City Paper, Nov. 4, 2005

The production captures Tsaggaris's emotive vocals and frames her intensely personal songs within a lineup of seasoned musicians while at the same time preserving the intimate feel of her live performances. The result is all the proof one needs to see that Tsaggaris is a powerfully gifted emerging artist.

"Hard" is the opening track of the album and perhaps the most vital of the bunch. The first and last lines of the song are idenical, yet sung to markedly different effect. Such prudent word choice is a hallmark of Tsaggaris, and like the mid-range jumpshot in professional basketball, something of a lost art. Because her voice is capable of delivering a simple three-word phrase delicately or intensely, often within the same measure, her style of writing is made all the more potent. Track ten, "Hurricane" is an anthem that begs for a wider audience. It's hook is gargantuan, and the most prominent bit of two-part harmony on the album pops up in th
