Raven is a 2013 studio album by American pop and rock singer Paula Cole. The album was crowdfunded on Kickstarter [1] and received positive reviews from critics.
American Songwriter's Christopher Treacy gave Raven 3.5 out of five stars, calling it "easily her most comfortable and self-assured release to date", speculating that the direct method of release enhanced the intimacy of the music. [2] The editors of AllMusic Guide also scored this release 3.5 out of five, with reviewer Thom Jurek noting how Cole gets to her musical roots and influences with this release and praising the authenticity of the minimal production on the recording. [3] In Glide Magazine, Jeff Demars scored Raven an eight out of 10, calling this one of Cole's "top albums" and noting that it best displays her strengths as a musician.
