“In returning to familiar forms with a fresh artistic drive one only finds in chasing new horizons, Scarlett O’Hanna achieves the grace of a modern classic on ‘Precious Nothings’, harkening back to the ecstasy of peak new-wave while remaining fully rooted in her unique singer-songwriter present. Hardships and high points wrapped all in one, ‘Precious Nothings’ reflects a decades worth of Scarlett’s evolution as an artist, a long-term breakthrough laid out plainly on Precious Nothings’ opening track “Unafraid”: “These are unloving times to live but / At the end of fear is a door”. – Hattie Lindert
