Double vinyl LP pressing with etching on side 4. Housed in gatefold jacket. Ch. 1, Vs. 1 is a record of what one writer calls "the unfolding of a self," of what it means to do away with the pretense and masks we wear as a means of survival. It's eclectic, but not in the nice-nasty way "eclectic" is often used to convey displeasure. Rather, it's the perfect soundtrack to a still-unfolding talent ready to be seen in her fullness, beyond the stage and screen and high fashion red carpet gowns and extravagant nail art.
