Attention Span

"Wendy Ip's second CD has excellent moments. She rocks out with her band throughout the disc with a voice that purrs & coaxes. From Winnipeg, Canada, Ip's autobiographical "Just Wendy 2003" is a stunning track with her piano pumping furiously as she makes a parallel between her name and the mythical Wendy from "Peter Pan," "The only thing she knows for sure is she doesn't want to grow up 'til much later." She duets with Chris Buckle on a delightful track "In A Perfect World" that beats like a rock-march into the future, "In a perfect world, I would be your girl." "When He Plays" has a tongue-in-cheek quality with David Andreana's tasty electric lead & Wendy rocking joyfully despite the obvious, "He doesn't have too much of an attention span, He doesn't have much money, he does what he can." Other tracks like "Valley & Peaks" & "Up to Me" are also excellent. This is a charming & strong sophomore effort from the talented independent singer. Enjoy!"
