Juliana Hatfield

�How to Walk Away� (Ye Olde): B+

Homegirl Hatfield�s music has


always flashed some tricky pop know-how, but this is by far her most listener-friendly, refined work yet. With New York City musician Andy Chase producing, the former Blake Baby and sometimes Some Girl has buckled down, resulting in the limpid focus of tuneful rainy day gems such as �This Lonely Love,� featuring Psychedelic Fur Richard Butler, and the romantically indifferent �My Baby.� And just when the regular pace and impressionistic keyboards have you yearning for an burst, she serves up the garage-tinted �Now I�m Gone,� an funny kiss-off to a dreary dude wHO starches and irons his sheets. Download: �The Fact Remains.�
