From the Bitter to the Sweet

From the Bitter to the Sweet is the latest release by Canadian singer Luba. A primarily solo work on her own label and her first in more than a decade, it did not produce as many sales or as much radio airplay as her previous albums. These songs are much more subdued than in earlier works, possibly due to her recent hard times. However, the album still won some critical acclaim. Featured singles include "Sorry," "Is She a Lot Like Me" and "Let Me Be the One."
