I would agree with the previous reviewer that Jann Arden is terribly underrated outside Canada. This, her second recording, was a great advance on her debut and marked her out as not your average pop singer-song writer. The upbeat Could I Be Your Girl is the oddest paean to self-abnegation I have ever heard. I’m sure the average radio listener did not pay much heed to the lyrics of this song, as the subtle yet catchy chorus and anodyne title are quite distracting. As with her later work, themes of loneliness and abandonment are moulded into beautiful pop songs that are superbly produced. Jackson Browne contributes backing vocals on some tracks including the uncredited duet Unloved and proves himself to be a suitable partner for Arden, echoing her sombre yet strong vocals. Insensitive, an international hit and a charmingly sung put down to an unfeeling lover, is not representative of much of Arden’s work, mainly because it was written by someone else. The best work here is Arden’s own, and Living Under June is a smashing work that led to the even greater Happy.

As I walked into an all night record store after midnight in a foriegn city in the depths of winter, this album was playing. It was as simple as walking up to the counter as saying "I don't know what's playing or who's singing, but I want that album". It is the best album I have ever bought, and one of the best features is that as the album plays towards it's end, the tracks get continually better, the last four tracks are absolute killers. Go buy it!

Jann Arden has never received the publicity she deserves this side of the pond, and one listen to this album leaves you wondering why... from the upbeat feel-good appeal of "Good Mother" to the slower, yet enticing feel of "Insensitive", not a single song fails to impress. Somewhat surprisingly the title track is possibly the weakest song but in an album of so many classics, even that is a compliment.

Restrained power
Arden has here put together a collection of songs which uplift and move. The stand-out tracks "Insensitive" & "Unloved" are two of the finest heart-broken love songs of the 1990's. Read more
