AllMusic Review by Nitsuh Abebe
Wade's
self-titled debut is very much a pop album -- its tracks deliver a
somewhat slick take on the lighter side of Britpop, topping typically
jangly pop compositions with non-aggressive vocals and trails of violin.
The more fleshed-out tunes tend to lose their edge amid all of the
overproduced orchestration -- the album's truly gorgeous moments come
from pensive, minimal compositions like "House" -- but the band's
tendency toward pop cheese is usually made up for by their melody and
sense of composition. This isn't a particularly notable record, but it
pulls its pop punches effectively, and comes out with a decent level of
appeal.
