WHAT THE MEDIA IS SAYING ABOUT JINNY SAGORIN:

Sagorin has a lush, lyrical voice, and a disarming sincerity.
DENISE TAYLOR, THE BOSTON GLOBE

Sagorin is a unique soulstress with a rich repertoire...She delivers her lush sounds with the purity of a songbird. "It's For You" boasts dynamic renditions...Freddie Mercury's 'Love of my Life' ought to be an instant favorite...the most haunting and memorable is the Heymann-Fox-Cohen collaboration, 'Weeping'.
JULES BECKER, NEW ENGLAND ENTERTAINMENT DIGEST

Jinny Sagorin possesses a beautiful voice. She does 'Love of my Life'; one of Queen's most gorgeous, swelling, sad songs...that's where Sagorin is at home. Should be an emotionally rich evening.
JIM SULLIVAN, THE BOSTON GLOBE

Jinny Sagorin is a performer you are compelled to see over and over again. I was impressed at the range and texture of her exquisite voice: her ability to vocally move with ease through a rigorous repertoire of musical theater, folk and rock and her graceful and endearing presence on stage. IDA ZECCO, CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE

"It's For You" is filled with warmly sung and very tasty pop, jazz and traditional folk tunes.

    Jinny is a wonderful performer and genuinely nice person. She has the ability to make old material sound fresh and new with her style, grace and passion. Her voice is entrancing and Doug Hammer was able to exquisitely catch it on CD for us all.

  • A beautiful CD for all
    author: Marge Houy

    Jinny's voice is so rich. I love the way she uses her range as though she is playing with the words and the sounds -- liltingly. Every time I listen to her singing, I hear new depth and nuance.

  • A gift of beautiful songs sung with so much heart.

    It's mesmerizing. From start to finish one is transported to a different time and space realm into a dream world of peace, warmth and harmony. Sagorin's voice, with its incredible crystal clarity, fills every word and every note with so much emotional depth and soul.

  • An enthralling debut CD! Sagorin will move you....
    author: Aryeh Finklestein

    'It's For You' will both enthrall and move you!The artist's selection of songs is an eclectic but captivating combination of the known and the exotic, which tells the story of her life in song. One is mesmerized from the start, because there is a constant rush of invention - ample testimony to the singer's art and imagination. Her intimate enunciation of the lyrics is exceptional; I felt that I was hearing the songs for the first time. Vocally, Sagorin boasts a rich coloristic palette, and her performance on this remarkable new CD is characterized by a sophisticated elegance, warm humor, and a subtle passion. It will go straight to your heart!

  • It's For You will touch your heart and soul
