Martha Wainwright - I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too

There's something very seductive about Martha Wainwright's singing - the rough edges are attractive, alluring, as is the intelligence and emotional openness and even rawness (or at least the appearance of such emotional disclosure). I've kept listening to her first album - it's turned out to be a grower - and this one is also good, though not yet as addictive. It feels like there's more going on on I Know You're Married..., and perhaps the pop song-craft doesn't come through as clearly - but maybe this is another that I need to live with for a while.
