One of the most beautiful albums of the year !!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jann Arden (Audio CD)
The difference can be heard right away: ten seconds of strum-my, hammering guitar. It could be the Strokes, the Vines, or Jet, but then, in comes Jann Arden's familiar vocals, albeit amidst a very uptempo backing band. As Jann herself describes it, the disc is "teeming with a really joyful spirit and full of bliss and optimism," quite a statement from the woman who wrote "Insensitive" and "Sorry for Myself." Indeed, Arden has a great gift of capturing aching beauty and a heart's deep hurt, but it is also refreshing to hear the new CD's first single, "Where No One Knows Me" and feel the riding-with-the-top-down positive vibe: There are also some sonic departures as well; Arden's whispered, reigned in vocals on "Life Is Sweet," with all it's hushed-ness, could, given a slightly different melody, be a contemporary, downtempo number straight off the U.K. charts. Equally delicate and also a treat is the CD's final cut, a new version of her previous hit "I Would Die For You", this time as a duet with fellow Canadian singing legend Sarah McLachlan. There is no question that this record is a bit of a departure for Jann and her band; that said, it is just different enough to keep it fresh and interesting both for the singer and her fans. Thankfully, the trademark goodness remains intact, and this will likely be a loved disc by her longtime fans, and possibly a new introduction to the unconverted.

Second only to Living Under June,
By J. M. McGregory "jmarkiemark" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jann Arden (Audio CD)
All of Jann's CDs are good. But, I can't lie, the last couple---although each song was good---as a whole got a little monotonous. Great lyrics, great voice...just a little unexciting. Not this one!
What great sounds. Great instrumentation to compliment the great vocals and lyrics. Great CD! If you like Jann because of Living Under June...you should like this one. If you like her because of her last few CDs...you should LOVE this one. :) 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

A great return to form.......,
By J. Bilby "littlebibs" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jann Arden (Audio CD)
thought Jann could never top "Living under June", wouldn't really want her to repeat the same style but this new collection finds the Canadian song stylist dishing out some
uptempo grooves along side her trademark melancholy heartaches, but what makes this set stand out is her willingness to explore some new sounds without chasing away fans who expect to hear familiar. It nice to hear favorite artists expand there sound and come up with a gem like this, much like the new Bonnie Raitt "Souls Alike" the heart and soul is still left to the music but some fresh air is thrown into the mix to challange listeners who come to expect the same old, same old, Jann Arden continues to stand out with her one of a kind style. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
