"This cd is amazing. If you like Mazzy Star, you will love this because Janas music is more dynamic and even more melancholy. The richness and honesty of her voice is so beautiful and at times disturbing. I am surprised at the lack of attention she is getting, although I have seen some good reviews(even one in interview magazine) and I have heard her on college radio but still shes comparable if not, better, than some of the indie females who are selling records like mad. Even someone like Norah jones, who is nominated for a mtv award. This music is totally accessible while maintaining an edge...she doesnt totally sell out on the pretty girl music thing, and that might be the problem. Maybe the mainstream music world isnt ready for such real sadness coming from a woman who writes such thought provoking lyrics.Maybe most people want their girl rock(or folk) to be sugar coated, but this is more than girl music...this is just simply put, beautiful music."
