notes
Jessa Young skirts the boundary between pop and electronica, between Alternative and Folk as well. Like Kate Bush or Bjork, she is an artist that honestly cannot be placed into a specific corner; she is neither here nor there. What she does have is an elegant voice, one that is organic yet ethereal, dreamy yet grounded in reality. She's a quirky mixture of polar opposites, and that's what makes Orange Roses among the year's most peculiar and continuously engaging discs.
The driving piano rhythms of "Fairytale" and the title track do recall a certain Tori Amos in mind; however, Young doesn't have Amos' melancholia, and we are grateful for that because there are too many Amos-alikes as it is. There are moments, too, especially when her singing soars, that she is reminiscent of Kate Bush. The enigmatic "Lady of the Lake" opens with an atmospheric spoken-word intro that evolves into the mellow, moody electronica that Bjork specializes in. But there is a Celtic flavor to Young's singing that makes the material fresh and alive.

author: truth paradiseI love this album. Jessa has the clear lyrical voice like Loraine McKenna and plays with the passion, sound, and tempo as she takes you through the stories of her life and experiences.

When I was in Colorado over the summer, I met Jessa playing in the back of a coffee shop. I was transfixed by her beautiful music and the way she played. Beautiful!!
