  • Jennifer Nash Strong Debut
    author: Mr. Riddims

    Sweet and tangerine, Jennifer Nash dreams with her music. Puncuations of love and mystery, strokes of dark and rock midnight. Very original and tantalizing songwriting, the songs speak in the toungues of life.

  • powerful music vixen
    author: Sam

    Great voice, powerful melodies, memorable stories, great piano playing, and she plays the accordion which is f-ing cool.

  • great new artist
    author: Tracy Z

    Actual melodies, poetic lyrics (none of the "I'll love you always and forever" bullsh*t) and true emotion... like one other reviewer said, it takes you to another universe. I gave it only 4 stars cuz I know she has a 5 star record in her future and I'm leaving some room for growth! like Ani DiFranco who really blossomed with the changes she has been making throughout her carreer. Also I love how the songs don't all sound the same, they go from sorta jazzy to rockin' to mellow folky ballad and still have a connected vibe. Isn't it about time for another album, Miss Jennifer????

    I hear a Pink Floyd influence in this artist which my boyfriend thinks is crazy and not possible, but then again he is not into Pink Floyd. It's not that the album is proressive rock or psychidellic in any way, but it tells of the same moods and even has similar musical sounds, like musicals but not flashy and gay (gay like happy and gay not gay like the mean derogatory way). I love this record and also think Jennifer sounds like the chick from Jefferson Airplane. A strong voice like that. I highly recommend this album if you like Pink Floyd, Grace Slick, or Vanessa Carlton even. The songs make you think and reflect on your own life and make up stories to go with the lyrics. BUY!

  • unpredictable but crafty and emotional
    author: Dan

    To listen to this album is to hear the begining of a great musician's career, which will hopefully be long and realized. Parts of the album suffer from sort of a lo-fi thing which is fine, but the type of eclectic and very involved/layered sound she has would definitely benefit from the big record label thing- glossy and still honest, like tori amos or ani difranco. The songs on this album are really interesting and touching, musically they are pretty haunting and create a real old fashioned album feel, where you get a sense of time and place, a unique world you are transported to with the voice and music.

  • unique and beautiful
    author: Rufusfan

    I got a sampler version of this CD at the Rufus Wainwright show last night- hard to find stuff as good and interesting as Rufus and here it is. The songs I got were Lay It On, Not So Easy and Down On The Highway, and a couple which aren't on this album. The have that musical theater influence that I think Rufus has, the songs are anything but predictable, always surprising me. Jennifer's voice is a little like Stevie Nicks, but more innocent sounding. I was lucky to get a 6 song sampler, but you'll have to buy this album.

  • Smartly crafted songs that beg you to come back for more.
    author: Ricardo

    I've had this cd for awhile and I never get tired of listening to it. It has such a high repeatability factor that it keeps you coming back for more. These are smartly crafted songs with stellar musicianship at hand. Jennifer's voice has the ability to touch on all of your senses making it a truly satisfying listening experience. This is an artist who's music will truly stand the test of time. The journey has begun so let the music play.

  • An Exceptional CD from an Extraordinary Artist/Songwriter
    author: Mary Rudy

    This cd is packed tight with music, talent and musicianship that this artist possesses. Vocals are exceptional, high and low ranges of the vocal spectrum. And it’s obvious that there is plenty to spare when it’s necessary. Being that our world and/or life isn’t always what we want it to be and there is always difficult situations coming up in our day to day lives, therefore that gives you one good reason to listen to the ‘Jennifer Nash’ self titled CD if only to be able to relate to the messages she is giving us in the music. The musicianship on this cd is of the highest caliber, but that is to be expected when you have someone like Jennifer Nash as the front person. This cd will give you a whole new look at classical music, this artist has the ability to take a song that has the sounds in the beginning as a classical tune and turn that song into a classical with somewhat of a rock edge. The notes are belted out with no troubles at all. A very strong and vibrant vocal and yet at the same time there is sweetness about the vocals, I am convinced that Jennifer Nash could probably stand up to anything when it comes to vocals. The ability to express emotions in the music with vocals, which some singers can and some can’t. Piano solos are beyond excellent, and accordion talent is superb. Listen closely, cause this lil’ lady can get down on those keys. This whole CD is filled with music coming from the heart and soul, talent and musicianship galore. BOTTOM LINE: High Caliber of Talent…..Musicianship that demonstrates the players expertise of the instrument…..Vocals to capture your heart and soul……and messages in each song that all of us can relate to….I recommend all to buy this cd for their collection, its a purchase well spent.

  • Great ruined-girl space cabaret
    author: Josh Kamensky

    Jennifer summons Tori Amos and Kate Bush with these great ruined-girl space-cabaret songs about more than love and heartbreak but clearly crafted with both in mind. I bought it cold on the strength of the LA Weekly article. I haven't been disappointed. Weeks later, the CD is still in heavy rotation.

  • The Beginning of Something Big: What if Kate Bush were a twentysomething Angelen
    author: Mr Toby Athena

    Jennifer Nash's voice alone defies categorization: a little Tori, a little Stevie, a little Kate, put in a blender and puree until silkypurrywailygrowllysmooth. But the music it cavorts around is all that and more. A largely acoustic, occasionally baroque instrumentation binds together the eclectic styles of Nash's songs and gives this record an out-of-time quality utterly appropriate to its refusal to bow to the whims and caprices of the ClearChannel soundtrack America withers to in 2004. The arrangements are complex and the mix boldly accentuates the low-mid frequencies of the sonic spectrum, a neglected range in this era of subwoofed hip-hop bass thuds and electroclicks. Best of all, the album has a richness to it, and that rare quality, exclusive to only the most classic of pop, of becoming richer and giving up more of its secrets with each listening. This is not an album you date. This is an album you marry. (And it is most certainly an ALBUM, not just a collection of songs. God bless the child.) How nice to know there are still artists among the rubble of the pop landscape. And the chief sprite's name is Jennifer Nash.

  • Janis Joplin and Caole King merged into one woman who can wail
    author: David Francis

    Jennifer Nash is that rare island of musicality and artistry in an ocean of mediocrity. Her music is inventive and original. Pedophile actually utilizes uncommon harmonies and memorable melodic lines that are uncoventional yet accessible. The lyrics address issues of everyday life others refuse to tackle in breath taking phrases that say what you wish you had said. Lay It On is a tune that grooves one down to their bones. Down on the Highway is a hair raising pulsating rock anthem. Every song is its own creation-none of this “every song sounds alike” for Ms. Nash. In fact, none of the songs sound alike and I say hurrah! The eclectic nature of her music is stunning and falls somewhere in my mind in the creature that would exist if Janis Joplin and Carol King were cloned and merged into one woman who can wail. Ms. Nash chooses to honor the primal beast inside her soul in Not So Easy. She does not shrink from allowing the listener to hear her words and her voice rage at betrayal and love lost or to feel the intimacy as she seduces her object of lust. I strongly recommend that you not only purchase this cd today but that you put it into your cd player and listen to this music from beginning to end in the privacy of your room. You will then have the opportunity to become acquainted with an artist of substance. American music needs Jennifer Nash. In fact, the planet needs Jennifer Nash.

    Jennifer Nash is an amazing musician. Listen to her lyrics for "Pedophile." Such disturbing insight and meaning from one so young as she. Then, in a completely different direction, listen to "Matter of Time"...sexy and sublime! Not only can she write terrific songs, she interprets them with a wonderfully pliant, expressive voice. And if you are lucky enough to catch her performances in person, you find yourself watching a tall, willowy, beautiful creature as well...an extraordinary package. She should be a star!

  • An Artiist Is Born
    author: Tony

    I saw Jennifer Nash at a little club in Hollywood about two years ago almost by chance. She was too shy to look at the audience but she had a good voice and a great lineup of backing musicians. Cut to Febuary of this year when I noticed an article in the LA Weekly touting this new artist, Jennifer Nash, soon to be playing at the Hotel Cafe. So, I was curious and went down and heard and saw this amazing transformation of an artist who truely had connected with herself, her music and her audience. Still a bit shy but that good voice had turned great and the confidence in the music was evident by the level of musicianship that she attracted. i was happy to have witnessed the growth of a talented beginner to an accomplished artist and glad I could find her CD on this site.

  • moving and dynamic, often powerful yet vulnerable
    author: Jason

    Jennifer Nash's debut work is a pleasure to listen to. A diverse collection of moving, at times powerful, songs with elements of vulnerability and intoxicating instrumentation.

  • Not your typical girly rock
    author: Andi

    I heard "Angelina" on the radio the other day and it reminded me a little of Fleetwood mac in a Stevie Nicks, gyspyish osort of way. This album is beautiful. I have been listening to this in my car for a few weeks now and I can't stop! Jennifer's voice is stunning and her songs are interesting, unpredictable, and very very memorable! Worth the money for sure. Be one of the first to own this CD! Jennifer, come play in Columbus OHIO!
