British vocalist 's debut album, 2012's, features her atmospheric R&B, trip-hop, and singer/songwriter-inflected electronic pop. These are expertly crafted and sophisticated songs that showcase a nice mix of synthetic, club-oriented sounds as well as more organic instrumentation.

• Delilah From The Roots Up Lyrics

Vocally, with her passionate and resonant alto croon, sounds somewhat like with a bit of 's more hushed, smooth style. Tracks like 'Breathe,' with its waves of cinematic string backgrounds, and 'Shades of Grey,' with its shimmering, layered vocals over atmospheric piano hits, bring together an artful DJ soundscape aesthetic with radio-ready pop melodies. In that sense, the album also brings to mind the trip-hop pop of '90s vocalist, albeit with a darker, more world music influence. In many ways, comes off as a kind of state-of-the-art soul diva here, especially on her archly sensual, sci-fi reworking of 's 'Inside My Love.'

From The Roots Up Delilah to stream in hi-fi, or to download in True CD Quality on Qobuz.com.

It's a notion that is only reinforced on such tracks as the steamy and expansive leadoff cut 'Never Be Another' and the pulsing, fluorescent-colored anthem 'Love You So.' As if pumped through the sound system of Taffy's Bar in the film Blade Runner, these are ominously sexy and infectious futuristic R&B anthems that envelop you with a kind of woozy, dystopian glow.
