Product Description
Amazon.ca
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. --Denise Sheppard

One of her best, if not her best...,
By AtomicRush "AtomicRush" (Big Spring, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jann Arden:Jann Arden (Audio CD)
I can't believe I never coasted in here and posted a review for this CD. Quite simply, this disc is fantastic. It ranks very highly in my Jann Arden collection. In fact, I have to say it has surpassed "Happy?" to be my favorite Jann album. Every song is wonderful. I LOVE "Beautiful Pain"! "Calling God"! "I'd Be Glad"! There is so much to like about his record. It's got a little bit of everything. Rock on Jann!

Jann Arden back around, stronger than ever.....,
By
This review is from: Jann Arden:Jann Arden (Audio CD)
Jann Arden is a singer/songwriter/musican I always look forward to hearing. This lady can sing! Like woman singersbefore her, Anne Wilson(Heart), Martha Davis(from the Motels), and Bonnie Raitt, these multi-talented singers with BIG voices have all battled something, be it weight, alcohol, sickness and recovery, they have also had a time with radio not playing their music (for one reason or another?) and have stuck it out and continued on, because like Arden they have more talent than any of these over-produced "finds" that record companies play at us on tv land. Jann's only fault is she does it her way and is one hell of a songwriter. Its putting the music with her words and finding the right combination of people she surrounds herself with that keep it all together. There isn't one collection that doesn't have several songs on them that make the record memorable, "Jann Arden", no exception filled with great music and the one of kind talents of Jann Arden. Since her breakthrough "Living under June" album only hinted at her genius(and brought her "hit" singles and the fame and luckily found its way down to the states, she has evolved into one of my favorite artists to listen to, moody, sad at times and whether you're a guy or a girl, she will find something to touch you and draw you in, its sad that radio(and their big brother Record Companies) in the states only sees the "hit single" potential in artists and not the long run career of talented singer/songwriters like Jann Arden. Radio seems to only want you if you're the total babe package, their loss. I will continue seeking out her great adult pop/rock collections, don't give up on yourself Jann Arden, you're just coming into your own.
