HERALD TIMES PARADE: June, 2004 LONDON, UK:
  "Jennifer Terran is an unusual, very unusual kind of artist and quite a woman! A truly magnificent Film Noire Diva and a world-class songwriter-singer. This woman is unique, captivating vocalist, pianist, tenderly rebellious songwriter, producer by raison d'etre and necessity, hip-hop dynamic instructor and dancer, story-teller, an existentialist philosopher, an emotionally and intellectually charged teaser and provocative presence and most certainly a daring-devil entrepreneur."
   
COMPACT/ CROSSROADS N° 20, April 2004 Issue: PARIS, FRANCE: (in French & English) Jennifer Terran Live Concert Review:
  "March 23th 2004 would have been one more usual day if there wasn’t Jennifer Terran’s concert, at the “Hotel du Nord” (Paris). I’d been waiting for this moment for months, but I would never imagine that this night would be one of the greatest of my life…"
   
GAISTELISTE.DE March 2004: (in German) Jennifer Terran INTERVIEW:

LA REPUBBLICA: Rome, ITALY: March 2004: (in Italian)

GAISTELISTE.DE March 21, 2004: (in German) Jennifer Terran: Queen Of The Underground/ Holland Concert Review:
  "Jennifer Terran - und das stellte sie an diesem Abend nochmals explizit fest - ist eine dezidierte Independent Künstlerin..."
   
SPAIN PRESS: 2003/ Jennifer Terran Interview  (In ENGLISH):
  "Your songs are definetely amazing, and rich in every aspect because they have no typical metric, with another completely different style, it's kind of the songs of Bowie from the seventies with so many richness and changes in the same song... "
   
www.BenAllfree.com: Entertainment Quest: September 28, 2003 Jennifer Terran in Concert at home:
  "She sighs, but with an audible hum, or moan. It's a little sensual, a little feminine, and very personal. She lets you hear the sound of her voice, and it sends a subtle message that spectacular emotion and courage are about to unfold"
   
MELODIC.NET: September, 2003 "The Musician" album review:
  "Hypnotic. Beautiful. Thoughtful. Intelligent. Four words that quite explains what we’re dealing here for sort of music."
   
LA WEEKLY: Los Angeles, USA: Concert Review, August 2003:
  "Not everybody can be both scary and vulnerable; Jennifer Terran (pronounced tearin') can. The scary part is her voice, which spirals into regions so high you fear she'll disappear or crash, and lately it has acquired a diamond-dust edge that can saw through a stack of hearts, first of all her own."
   
Nerds Attack! L' Underground di Musicaroma (Italy): August, 2003 "The Musician" album review:
  "Si tratta qui, di un album che apre gentilmente la strada a nuove, singolari e suggestive emozioni."
   
MURMURES: SWITZERLAND: May, 2003 Jennifer Terran: "The Musician" CD album review. (in French & English):
  "If Jennifer Terran has a voice as much incomparable as unforgettable, it is because she is also that in real life. Her authentic and sensual voice awakes up in us emotions so deep inside that thinking of it makes nearly crying of pain or joy, as if truth had a price."
   
UNCUT (London) (UK): February, 2003 "The Musician" album review:
  "Haunting and intense, she sounds like a rawer version of Tori Amos. But Terran possesses a uniquely fierce and uncommon uncompromising voice"
   
TELERAMA (FRANCE): January 24, 2003 (album review in FRENCH & English)
  "Jennifer Terran a déjà publié trois albums sur son propre label, Grizelda : celui-ci, sobrement intitulé The Musician et paru en 2001, a suscité une avalanche de dithyrambes aux Etats-Unis, un critique conseillant même à ses lecteurs d'échanger tous leurs disques de Tori Amos contre un seul de Jennifer."
   
MUSIC MINDED (Holland) DECEMBER 2002 (In Dutch):
  "De Amerikaanse zangeres Jennifer Terran is bijna onbekend in ons land."

SHAKENSTIR: December, 2002 (Album Review) (UK: in English)
  The Musician: #1 BEST ALBUM OF 2002 "Terran is an extraordinary USA singer/songwriter and THE MUSICIAN places her firmly in the top echelon of her craft. This is remarkable pop music, and one of 2002's few essential albums"
   
PLATOMANIA (HOLLAND) (in English): December 13, 2002

ENZINE MUSIC (BELGIUM) (in Dutch): December, 2002
   
SHAKENSTIR: December, 2002 (Live Concert Review) (UK: in English):

FOCUS: October 30, 2002 (Album Review) (BELGIUM: in Dutch & English):

THE TIMES (UK): October 20, 2002 (Pop CD of the Week)

GAESTELISTE.DE October 25, 2002: (in German) Jennifer Terran Concert Review:

GAESTELISTE.DE de & WESTZEIT.DE: October, 2002 (Interview) (in German & English)

OOR: 7 September, 2002 (Album Review) (in Dutch & English)

  "Terran's musical arrangements have a luxurious, sometimes even majestic depth."
   
www.HETPAROOL.nl: August 20, 2002 (Album Review) (in Dutch)
  " Alsof de jonge Joni Mitchell en Tori Amos samen een plaat hebben gemaakt, en niet konden kiezen wie er mocht zingen. Alleen: ze zou zichzelf iets minder serieus mogen nemen."
   
SANTA BARBARA NEWS PRESS: June 16, 2002 (Interview) (USA)
  Title: Some artists prefer independence. "I can understand (the labels) have their costs, but as a general rule, it's more on the side of being unjust for artists," said the soft-spoken Ms. Terran.

  "Jennifer Terran kommt aus Los Angeles und ist hierzulande ein vollkommen unbeschriebenes Blatt."
   
HEAVEN MAGAZINE (Jennifer Terran Interview): April, 2002 (HOLLAND) (In Dutch)
  "De Amerikaanse zangeres Jennifer Terran is vrijwel onbekend in ons land, en dat is eeuwig zonde. Een korte tournee door hoofdzakelijk Nederland eind februari moet verandering in deze anonieme status brengen, maar voor het eindelijk zover is stellen we haar alvast aan u voor."
   
www.backstreets.it: 12 April, 2002 ALBUM REVIEW (ITALY) (In Italian & English)

PLATOMANIA: 3 March-2002 (HOLLAND) (In Dutch)
  "Muziek die Tori Amos jaren geleden maakte, maar dan nog beter. Een hoogst emotionele stem die goed gedoseerd wordt ingezet, onderwijl sober ondersteund door piano (op de voorgrond, bespeeld door de zangeres) en nog wat andere instrumenten".
   
RTM Free-Zine: March, 2002 (BELGIUM) (In Dutch & English)
  "J.T. is real ....This Terran could well evolve into a major force in the top league of singer-songwriters."
   
LIVE RADIO - BRTO "Crossroads" in Bergen op Zoom: 7 March-2002 (HOLLAND) (In Dutch)
  "Het was weer behoorlijk druk in de BRTO-studio op donderdag 7 maart j.l. Dat was ook wel te verwachten want het internationale aanbod op deze avond sprak -hoewel sprake was van twee totaal verschillende muzikanten- een brede groep muziekliefhebbers aan".
   
BN/ DeStem (Editie Bergen op Zoom): 9 March-2002 (HOLLAND) (In Dutch)
  Jennifer Terran; "Artiesten staan in de rij voor BRTO-studio"
   
Storyville Magazine: 24 February-2002 (HOLLAND) (In Dutch & English)
  "Pure, that was this concert in one word. No setlist, no décor, only a small lady, with a voice like a storm, behind the piano and her husband next to her, bringing his bass to life".

Leidsch Dagblad/ INTERVIEW: 21 February-2002 (HOLLAND) (In Dutch)

Leidsch Dagblad/ CONCERT REVIEW: 21 February-2002 (HOLLAND) (In Dutch)
  "Binnen de kortste keren heeft Jennifer Terran de de donkere concertzaal van Q-bus in haar greep. En dat is knap".
