Trouble in Shangri-La sold pretty well, and got some of her best reviews since Bella Donna, so I think she was pleased with that album. As for 24 Karat Gold, I don’t think she phoned it in vocally, I think that’s just how she sounds now. I read she released 24 KG as a tribute to her mother, so I really don’t think think she would have phoned it in for that reason. It’s a no frills album and sounds just like what it was- a quickly recorded album she wanted to get out as soon as possible. But I don’t think the quality of the album was because she phoned it in. I think it was the best she could do.
