High Dive is Maria McKee's first studio album in seven years and her first on her own label. To go from a mercilessly inescapable global hit like "Show Me Heaven" to funding one's own recordings in a little over a decade may not seem the ideal career trajectory, but the truth is that McKee was always far more indie rocker than pop diva--"Show Me Heaven" would certainly have paid a few bills, but it also served to obliterate her sterling earlier work with Lone Justice from critical and popular memory. High Dive, then, is McKee as she would prefer to be seen--far closer to Kirsty MacColl than Whitney Houston, a wry, literate singer-songwriter blessed with a voice that is both technically pristine and approachably human. Though much of High Dive is blemished by over-fussy production, the best moments here, such as the wise and witty title track and the unabashedly Lone-Justice-like "In Your Constellation", justify McKee's investment in herself. --Andrew Mueller
