The Singer/Songwriter's Sophomore Album, Produced by Ben Hillier (Elbow, Blur) Marks a Huge Step Forward. In Terms of Sound, Scope and Style, it is a Bigger, Braver and Possibly Even Darker Work Than It's Acclaimed Predecessor. It Feels Contemporary, Yet Stands Alone. His 2000 Debut CD Won the UK'S Mercury Music Prize and Mcrae was also Nominated for a Brit Award.
