Jenny Dalton's music is rich with haunting vocals, moody piano, and epic rock ballads. She is influenced by sound-sculptors and lyricists such as Tori Amos, Kate Bush, and Kristin Hersh. This impressive debut CD is a must-have.

notes

"Jenny Dalton is a lovely girl, at once timeless and classic... Though it would be easy to associate her with other female pianists and singer/songwriters (most obviously, Tori Amos), there is a sense of independence and fearless creativity in Dalton’s music that leaves the listener a little unsettled, even haunted at times... Deep within Dalton's songwriting is a feeling of mysticism, an obvious and intense love for the piano that makes her music captivating and quietly beautiful."
- Pulse of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis

"The Fleur De Lily CD release party at the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown showcased Dalton's elegant vocals and passionate keyboard backed by members of Cloud Cult (who also contributed to the album). Their combined effect was unremitting and unavoidably visceral. They could have formed one beautiful living creature, the guitars and drums as two breathing lungs and a pounding heart, and Dalton as the tongue and teeth, delivering immutable truths of heartbreak and hope. Her presence was at once vulnerable and fearless."
- The Wake Magazine, Minneapolis

"There are many things that set Dalton apart from other female pianists and songwriters. To my surprise, Dalton chose to play her own keyboard over the Varsity’s huge grand piano, which was shoved off to the side of the room for the evening. Also, unlike most piano players she stood for her entire set, facing directly forward and gazing out into the sizable audience as she sang. Though it would be easy to draw comparisons between Dalton and other musicians with a similar sound (Tori Amos, Kate Bush), she has managed to craft a distinct sound that combines ethereal vocals, eerie piano amblings and a surprisingly heavy rhythm section."

    I've never heard anything like it. Jenny Dalton instantly became my favorite singer/songwriter after hearing this c.d.. The songs Cadence and Secrets deeply touched my very soul like nothing I've ever heard. Jenny is Perfect!

  • complete CD

    Beautiful melodies.

  • Beautiful new lady songbird!
    author: Lance

    I first heard Jenny on Pandora.com listening to music that was "like Tori Amos". After only a couple of listens I couldn't get Bad Day and Violet Walk out of my head... had to get the CD! While I think those two songs are the singles on this disc, songs like Snake Oil, Cadence and Secrets show a breadth that proves Jenny is not a 1 trick pony.

  • Lily does not disappoint
    author: Chris

    WOW!!! I saw Jenny in concert at a coffee shop once, picked up her demo and have been a big fan of her music since. "Fleur" continues on that moody piano-driven forge, but gains a more aggressive edge with the addition of a supportive and sensitive rhythm section. You can really feel a strong sense of longing for Jenny's "Soldier" throughout the lyric in this album, and yet the songwriting is very poetic and therapeutic for that sense of longing we can all relate to. I can't stop listening to this disc . . .

    My sister Stacy showed me jenny's website and we played some of her songs I think that she has a beautiful voice, I'm thinking about buying her CD its great!

  • Smooth music that is relaxing to listen to.
    author: ken barkdoll

    The music on this CD is smooth and one track flows easily into the next. I like to listen to this CD while I am kicking back to relax. I did not necessarily hear any of the influences suggested, Tori Amos, etc, but I thought I hear alittle Sarah MacLaughlan influence. You be the judge, but by all means give this one a listen!!!!

  • Amazingly deep album with hints of brilliance.
    author: Toby C.

    Jenny Dalton's Fleur de Lily is an artistic gem. Encompassing tales of scariness, horror, and love, this album is a can't-miss for anyone who likes music about life. Five stars!!!
