Review

'The Haunted Man' is like walking through a misty dreamscape with Natasha Khan as your guide. Her voice wraps around you like a soft blanket on those nights when your thoughts won't quiet down. I found myself completely lost in the haunting melody of 'Laura' - it's the kind of song that makes you stare out rainy windows and think about all the people who've drifted through your life. The way Khan blends those tribal rhythms with orchestral vibes in tracks like 'Horses of the Sun' feels like something ancient and new all at once, like memories you didn't know you had.

What really gets me about this album is how deeply personal it feels, like Khan's letting us read pages from her diary. She dives into all that messy stuff about who we are and what we remember, and girl, I feel that struggle. 'All Your Gold' has this catchy hook that'll stay with you for days, but beneath that surface, there's this raw exploration of emotional baggage that hit me right in the chest. This 2012 release might've climbed to number six on UK charts, but what sticks with me isn't the success - it's how Khan creates these imaginative soundscapes that somehow feel like home, even when they're taking you somewhere you've never been before. - Ivy
