After 2008's live album and tribute to Nino Rota, former Les Rita Mitsouko vocalist Catherine Ringer returns with her debut solo record and first studio effort since the death of her musical and life partner, Fred Chichin. Produced by Mark Plati, the highly emotional affair deals with the aftermath of her loss on 12 tracks, which include collaborations with Wu Tang Clan's RZA and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. ~ Jon O'Brien
