Rolling Stone Review:<br />
Natalie Merchant is an American original with a corduroy voice and an exalted sense of the everyday, a singer who can conjure rare atmospheres and get on people's nerves at the same time, all without finishing her phrases. Ophelia, Merchant's follow-up to 1995's Tigerlily, replaces the skintight band of that solo breakthrough with a shifting cast of players, reaching out to include brass and strings. Yet like the debut, Ophelia devotes itself to one quality above all else: the unstructured luxury of Merchant's sound.<br />
<br />
That sound is the deliberate, depressed aural landscape – underlaid with acute singer/songwriter rhythms – of the same woman who, with 10,000 Maniacs in the Eighties, found nothing funny about glitz. On the title song, Merchant majestically shuffles her self-invented deck of female face cards; her singing continually slides toward lakes of unhappiness or dares to swim out of them. She fights: "Life Is Sweet," Merchant insists on one frightening little tune. She praises: "For your kindness/I'm in debt to you," she allows with added cheer and tempo on "Kind and Generous," the current single.<br />
<br />
Over the years, Merchant has moved from the coffee shop to the Body Shop. As befits a socially committed superstar, on Ophelia she and guest guitarist Daniel Lanois get windy about the shortcomings of our ironic age ("Thick as Thieves"), and she climaxes with a stout hymn ("When They Ring Them Golden Bells"). But a four-song stretch in the middle of her album soars. It starts with the mazelike "Frozen Charlotte," Merchant's floating lines narrating a persistent dream of hungover desire. This bleeds into the piano-driven "My Skin," on which delicate complaints metastasize into gorgeous demands, before Merchant sings the light-filled "Break Your Heart," wherein she and a muted trumpet stare down the nonstop gloom. Then, everything crests on "King of May," an extraordinary elegy for an ordinary person. "Make a cardboard crown for him," she instructs. "Make a hole in the sky for him." She glides on a kaleidoscopic melody light-years beyond her words. This is Natalie Merchant in all her pestering glory.<br />
