No doubt aided by a post from Sia directing her fans to Noonan's soundcloud page and saying "My friend Katie sure can sing!".

"[4] Noonan said the songs on the album are the most personal in her long career and said age and experience has made her less inclined to hide behind her lyrics.

[5] Many of the songs on Transmutant were inspired by the pain of others — her husband Zac after his mentor died ("Gratitude"), her best friend Nina ("Broken") and a man crying as he farewelled his daughters at the airport ("Goodbyes").

[6] Michael Wilton of Rolling Stone AUS gave the album 4 out of 5 saying; "Noonan's voice is an exquisite instrument – especially on "An Unwinnable Race" – and while her hymnal ballads can become a little too even-tempered, she confidently experiments with off-kilter rhythms and whimsical pop.

It is as if they are afraid to compete in any way with Noonan's undeniably ethereal voice – which displays both vulnerability and power as it hovers and soars – their gentle electronic sounds merely politely jostle around behind it."
