CD Review: Eliza Doolittle – Eliza DooLittle

ELIZA Doolittle epitomises the musical youth of today.

ELIZA Doolittle epitomises the musical youth of today.

Carved from the same block as Lily Allen and Kate Nash, the 22-year-old singer is yet another modern, self-involved, blogging songstress. The question is, does the former child actress have enough of what it takes to make her stand out from the crowd?

Her eponymous debut showcases a variety of indie-pop songs, with a range of influences from the soulful to the funky. It’s undoubtedly a quirky mix, though a little lacking in substance. Tuneful and radio-friendly, Doolittle’s first effort is fun, perfectly polished and technically accomplished she just needs to discover her musical direction.
