Part of the beauty of Honey is that Millan knows she's out of her territory and yet confidently keeps things simple. That's PART of the beauty. The other part is Millan's sugary voice swinging over the fiddle twitches, banjo rhythms and acoustic strums, delivering an oddly convincing wannabe album.

"Skinny Boy," with its familiar electronic tinge, will make you fall in love with Millan's voice all over again.
