Cat Power - What Would the Community Think

“What Would the Community Think was the second album Chan Marshall released in 1996, but its richness suggests a longer period of evolution. From the first warm notes of ‘In this Hole,’ it’s clear that Marshall’s voice – as a singer and a songwriter – is not only stronger and more focused, but more emphatic as well. Where her previous works were dense and cathartic, What Would the Community Think gives her voice and lyrics space to unfurl and involve the listener; the title track alone holds an album’s worth of eloquence in Marshall’s hushed, clear vocals, backed by guitar, feedback and an eerie, echoing piano.” – All Music Guide
