Description

Indeed another one from the American production line, this is an outstanding debut album from someone who clearly has an unending mixed bag of stories from her past - as short as it currently is. Jessica has clearly has a...colourful...history, for speaking from experience, I know that the kind of sentiments found on this album come either straight from the heart, or from one very close by.There are songs that speak of undying love for Mr. Right, no matter what it may mean ('I Want You', 'Symphony'); ones about her life before she met him, with an abusive boyfriend ('Your Girl' - best on the albummore…, 'I'm Sorry'); and quite a few about the end of bad relationships (something she's clearly had experience of) with various different views thereupon: Depressed ('Sadly Beautiful', 'Gone'); exasperated ('Everything' - not one for those who left home to live with their partner); and positive, for he was scum anyway ('Even Angels Fall', 'Dreams Will Fade'). There are also a couple of standalone ones; 'For Wowser', written for one of her school friends - the homecoming queen, no less; and 'Indifference', one about her general demeanour towards bad boyfriends. Jessica accompanies herself on the piano, and her voice could be described as an American Dido with a little of the overtone removed. She never pushes herself outside her comfort zone, and so the result is a smooth easy listening voice, rather than an enlivening in-your-face vocal attack. The orchestration (David Campbell & Kim Bullard) manages to tread the line between involvement and laissez-faire, and the combination of these factors with the lyrics tell a rather interesting story about someone who really shouldn't have had so many rough experiences at her age - a story that thankfully has a happy ending. Recently, she got married, and is now recording as Jessica Jacobs. Good luck to the pair of you.Buy this, and buy her second one as well. It's called Chapter 2, and I'm listening to it as you read.
