notes
This talented jazz-rocker incorporates multiple genres, from country and r&b soul to jazz and hip-hop and anything between. Her intimate knowledge of life, love and dreams conveys the experience of a woman beyond her years. Yet the sweetness and vulnerability of a young lady emanate from her soul.
Influences like Billie Holiday, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Jill Scott, Madonna, Smokey Robinson and Teena Marie have converged to create, in Dani Love aka Love Jones, a unique sound, a unique form of storytelling that is candid yet soothing. Infectious melodies detailing reality-based narratives give her songs a quality that is timeless and unforgettable.
Neo-Jazz is what she terms her music, as it comes from a jazz perspective, but incorporates, soulful contemporary elements. All you have to do is listen, and you know that whatever this lady sings, you're gonna feel and take it to heart. In live performances, she is arresting, her personality infectious. Laughter accompanies pain, and you leave with a good feeling inside.

She describes her style as "Neo-Jazz," but when you get done listening to this EP, you'll realize that classification only begins to scrape the surface. Over the course of these seven tracks, Love proves that she's adept at seemingly any style you throw at her: soul, smooth funk, straight up R&B, and even hip hop. And while the diversity of the music here is certainly noteworthy, it's her voice that deserves the majority of the accolades. It's one thing to be able to command a track with your vocal skills, but it's another to be able to seemingly convert complex, well-done backing tracks to bit player level once the singing starts. Her smooth (I can't stress that enough) delivery manages to both maintain composure and emote exponentially, taking the hard-hitting kick drum on a track like "What You Made" and soothing its harshest aspects with her layered harmonies. "That's All" is a sparse, piano laced pop jam that looks toward the bright side, while "Get Away" is a slyly crafted he said/she said R&B bouncer that gives Love a chance to show off her rap skills. She steps up to the occasion on both tracks, keeping the lyrics and the melodies sharp and on point. It's that strength and precision that flows through this whole album and makes it one to look out for.
Absolutely Fantastic!
author: Roman St. JamesDani is an amazing vocalist and songwriter that has been a fixture in the L.A. area for a while now. If you're into Corinne Bailey Rae, you'll love this - and keep in mind that Dani was doing this style of music years before anyone ever heard of Corinne! If you're looking for music that can both relax you and stimulate your mind, this is it! Great harmonies, thought provoking lyrics and unforgettable melodies, this music has it all. Highly recommended!!!
