[edit] Album information
Little Things was released on March 30th, 2004. The twelve-track album was promoted with the single Devils and Angels, for which Toby filmed her first music video. The album received mixed reviews, many of which suggested that its conventional, rock/pop synthesized production restricted Toby from establishing a distinctive voice and sound as an artist. The album was often compared musically to Dido, Nelly Furtado, Lauryn Hill, and Mary J. Blige. [1]
A second version of Little Things was released on July 20, 2004 that included a bonus cover track of Mary J. Blige’s 1992 hit single Real Love. The song was released as the album’s second single and a music video was filmed to promote the track.
