I saw a beautiful young tiger slinking between the trees. Just as I was admiring its beauty it started to attack.” A tender and reflective album is one that she has created, and is clearly extremely With songs of grief of lost love, Kelly also expresses pathways to new love similar to nature’s constant, slow and powerful changes.
