- Amazing review in Music Connection Magazine (week of Aug 27th) ....
Material: Jen Jayden delivers a very commercial style of soulful pop and possesses a lilting voice
similiar to Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton. "Back to the Love" is an apology for messed up relationships and would work well in any teen TV drama. "rescue Me" uses a unique perspective, telling the tale of drug abuse and addiction. Most importantly, Jayden has several tunes that are catchy enough to get radio play. Musicianship: Jayden's voice is her primary instrument. At times, it softly floats on the wind and then it might suddenly pierce the ambience as the mood of a song transitions. Jeffrey David is a virtuoso, both on keyboards and guitar, carrying the melody throughout. The backline of Johnson and Sydnor is impressive and provides a firm foundation for the rest of the band. Ten-year-old Sierota steals the show with her soaring background vocals and her timely percussion. Performance: Cleebrating the release of her first CD, which was produced by Jeffrey David, Jayden was particularly on target with radio-ready tunes like "Rescue Me" as well as "Unpredictable." Her performance of "Rescue Me" was sensuous and stirring. Jayden used a good sense of humor and rapport with the audience to keep them focused on her music, while her narrative approach kept the crowd interested in what she had to say. She closed strongly, and left the club wanting more. Summary: Jen Jayden's vocals, lyrics and catchy melodies make her music much more powerful and enjoyable than your typical run-of -the-mill pop artist. Her tunes are approprate for radio as well as television and film. -Bob Leggett - Nominated Acoustic Female Singer/Songwriter of the Year by the LA Music Awards Read about the LAMA at www.LAMusicOnline.com - Nominated in the AAA Album of the Year category by the LA Music Awards www.LAMusicOnline.com - Three time winner with the VH1 Song of the Year Competition noting "catchy melodies, emotional vocals, and unique style." - Featured on XM radio's "Radar Report" (XMU) as an "up and coming artist to look out for." - Added and playing on over 170 college/AAA radio stations throughout the USA & Canada. - Featured artist on the "who's playing" section of sonicbids. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Music Connection Magazine says "Jayden projects a soulful optimism and shows off her terrific voice." See review at Music Connection Magazine - The San Diego Troubadour had this to say about Jen's album... "Each song is special and honest, giving the listener the feeling of being in on a private conversation. It's one thing to sing the notes and get the words out at the right time. It's another to make those words feel like personal, deeply felt messages per personal experience. (I flick my Bic to anyone who gets that trick down pat.) 'Flick.'...
