The disc itself offers what fans have come to expect from Woo: intelligent singer-songwriter fare, professionally played and earnestly performed. The title cut and a cover of the Beatles' "Blackbird" are sleepier than they need to be, but "One-Way Street," "Gravity" and a slinky version of Bill Withers's "Use Me" are seasoned with a dash of sass, and "I Can't Go," a bonus track, is alluringly intimate.
Skyline isn't a giant artistic leap forward, in part because Woo never strays from her comfort zone. Listeners familiar with her style will discover no surprises, mild or otherwise. Still, it's another solid outing from a woman who's learned the benefits of doing things for herself.
