That said, I don't think it's a way to win fans, and it might even lose you some of the fans you have, especially nowadays (with so much omni-present competition). I reckon she needs to spend more time working on her music and less time chatting to Jessika one two three four

It is, however, a good way of keeping the more casual observers up to date with what's happening. If it were not for the web would anyone even know there was an EP imminent? If people don't know of this site they may rely on the other one for news.

I think she's really busy and I don't have enough time (and money) to have a conversation everyday with her! haha I think (again) that she's in the middle of different projects, plans (this comedy with Adam Duritz maybe and other things we don't know) so the delay is not only due to manufacturing problems. So now, like I could say in french it's "Silence Radio"...we have to keep quiet!

She's actually recording a John Martyn's song for a charity CD. (Is "head and heart" originally from him?) Last Edited By: jessika2001 03/31/09 23:02:13. Edited 2 times.

I don't know if someone can understand. She's made justice with "These Days"! really.

I think the recorded version of Oliver doesn't do it justice... however, her harmonies are beautiful. I think it's the tone of the guitar throughout that I'm not too sure about. These Days is amazing. I wish November was a bit more raw. But what do I know! Thank you Gemma!

Posts: 358 (04/06/09 13:31:56) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I'm pretty happy with the EP overall. I think the recorded versions of both Oliver and November came out quite nice. I like that she kept them pretty bare bones. The piano and cello on November are nice additions, though. The way she sings and plays on These Days really reminds me alot of Mama, What's That Song for some reason. Maybe just the picking and register of her voice (though I haven't listened to MWTS in ages so I have no idea how similar they actually are - just a feeling I got while listening). Half Light is the highlight for me. I'm not generally a big fan of alot of synth, but it works for me on this song. That said, I'd now like her to put the acoustic down for awhile and make a more electric driven record. It's time to get loud again.
