"There's nothing fragile about Armstrong's singing.
It glows gloriously on Mike Westbrooke's Blake settings (including a
brilliant London Song) and she attacks songs of injustice with honest
and impressive conviction, a vigour made all the more striking and dramatic
by the album's taut production." - Glasgow Herald

"You'd be hard pressed to find a singer with a voice as powerful,
versatile and expressive....Frankie has the remarkable ability to vividly
convey the imagery of a song, capture and project it's every nuance, and
perfectly exploit the natural tensions of lyric and melody, always giving
her words space to breathe". "Ways of Seeing" is a powerful
set of live concert recordings featuring Frankie singing on her own, in
duets and with up to ten other women. tracks:Ja
