Jennifer Terran - The Musician
A few issues ago we brought a special lady to your attention, Jennifer Terran. We thought she was so special, we bought a small pile of CDs by her, which found their way quickly. In the mean time The Musician and the back catalog of this singer have been released in the Netherlands, reason to highlight her again. She has a very emotional voice, which is used in a good, dosed manner, while supported by a sombre piano (in the foreground, played by the singer) and some other instruments. Jennifer Terran has made a crushing new album with The Musician. It's filled with songs that would still touch even if Terran would sing the manual of laundry machine. At some point Tori Amos had that same gift, but in the meantime she has become a phenomena. The Musician is Terrans third album, but strangely enough it has the innocence of a debut. The compositions are fluent and playful, both rough and soft. Terran produced and mixed everything herself, but has succeeded in preventing that the spontaneity of her music was killed by perfectionism. As no one is more critical of their own work as the maker, which finished many artists. It's an album that commands respect. Let's hope that Terran will never become world famous.
