Album information


Unlike her previous two albums, which dealt heavily with themes of sex and relationships, Whitechocolatespaceegg focused more on motherhood and family, as Phair had recently given birth to a son and was in the process of going through a divorce.

The album received generally positive reviews. Rolling Stone called it "engagingly intimate" while at the same time "playful and pop-y, with just enough dry humor." The magazine also praised the album for its storytelling-esque lyrics. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/whitechocolatespaceegg-19980730 Whitechocolatespaceegg : Liz Phair : Review : Rolling Stone The Washington Times wrote that Phair had successfully proved she was "no longer an unbridled twentysomething but now, at 31, a wife and mother, who has grown as an artist as well as a woman." http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-56759964.html Liz Phair grows confident about music.(Arts) | Article from The Washington Times | HighBeam Research
