Everything Changed is a 2004 studio album by American singer-songwriter Abra Moore. The album has received positive reviews by critics.
Reception Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Thom Jurek writing that this album needs to be assessed in terms of Moore's struggle to make a follow-up to her commercial break-through and the result is "something mercurial, enigmatic; in essence, it is a work of desire but not covetousness" that "elevates the pop song to the place of art form and poetry". In The Austin Chronicle, Raoul Hernandez rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "an accomplished album whose emotional complexity resists it". Industry magazine Billboard chose this as an album pick with reviewer Christa L. Titus the "autobiographical" album shows "an artist who has been able to heal and move on" both from professional issues and the death of her father. A brief review in Entertainment Weekly by Marc Weingarten stated that "Moore doesn’t have much to work with here" and the songs devolve into "singer-songwriter cliche". A review in No Depression stated that the "neo-psychedelic arrangements, strummy acoustic guitar-based ruminations and stately piano balladry... should qualify Moore for some type of comeback-of-the-year award".
