Urban Walker is the kind of album you would expect from somebody who collaborated with The Thievery Corporation—check out the remix of "Quicksand". Her songs are both beautiful and weird, built on odd atmospheres and her airy voice, venturing somewhere between folk, trip-hop, ambient, brings her closer to artists such as Beth Orton and, to some degree, Tori Amos—the second half of the album is centered around piano melodies. While the lyrics definitely have a McLachlan vibe, more exasperating is her singing propensity for McLachlan-style "ooh oohs"—Walker has great potential, which should be fully embraced, once she escapes the shadow of Lilith.
