Tracey Thorn, 'Out of the Woods' (Astralwerks)

Electro-soul singer sparkles on overdue second album.

The haunting voice of Everything but the Girl, Tracey Thorn hasn't made a solo album since 1982. So you can't really blame her for failing to stay with a single style on Out of the Woods, which features a folky acoustic ballad, some retro-techno dance pop, a handful of moody trip-hop lullabies, and one gorgeous, flute-kissed torch song ("Nowhere Near") that sounds like what Dido dreams about at night. Call it 'Everything About the Girl.'
