|
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.
