HEAVEN 5 star REVIEW translated Impressive account on the existence of the musician. The Musician is the third album of songer-songwriter Jennifer Terran, a yet little known, but nevertheless very interesting artist who gives us an utmost intense and personal report of her deepest emotions. That plain attitude is also reflected on the cover of the cd, on which she's sitting, naked and leaned backwards, at her piano. The style of her music reminds you strongly of other female pianists who are not afraid to show their own psyche, such as Tori Amos, Jane Siberry and Veda Hille, but she does it in her very own, creative way. Also as a songwriter she stands strong, for eventhough this album is through the direct and also somewhat baroque atmosphere, very intriguing but not immediately accessible, each time you listen it reveals more secrets of the beautiful melodies she creates and more songs turn out to be remainingly of high standing. A good example is Mad Magdalene, a long, undoubtedly semi-autobiographical song about an artist who refuses to compromise her music to play the game of the record industry, and in the end shoots the boss of the record company. And this way, you discover more and more small masterpieces on this magnificent album, that reveals its true beauty the moment you learn to recognize the details. |
