a girl named jaen
Sometimes, an artist comes along whose music combines undeniable honesty and sophistication, introspection and accessibility, vulnerability and strength. a girl named jaen blends these qualities together seamlessly on her debut opus DUSK, an impressive recording that couples modern electronic
soundscapes with acoustic instrumentation, and compelling lyrics with infectious hooks.
Although a girl named jaen's sound can be described as juxtaposing Madonna's melodic sensibilities with Alanis Morissette's raw emotion, at times echoing
Shirley Manson's sensual coolness and an underground Sneaker Pimps feel, her signature sound definitely stands alone, remarkably fresh and interesting. Says the seasoned vocalist/songwriter, "I wanted to make an album on my own terms, to have fun musically while exploring lyrical themes that were
important or interesting to me. And to embrace some issues that most people have trouble even acknowledging."
a girl named jaen's songs have been featured in critically acclaimed independent feature films (Love Philosophy, The Young Unknowns and Body
Language), popular prime-time television shows (CBS' That's Life, WB's Grosse Pointe, MTV's Live Through This), and numerous sites on the Internet
(Icebox.com's Hangman).

I have listened to your CD Dusk at least three times already. It's beautiful! 'Disappear' is the fav! What a song!
jaen has created a stunning work, extroverted and introverted
author: Paul Andersen - Pasadena Star NewsDusk by a girl named jaen is not your standard singer/songwriter album. Full of electronic effects and tape loops, shimmering strings (as well as a host of other organic instruments) and set to rhythms that are sometimes closer to hip hop than folk, jaen has created a stunning work that is extroverted and introverted, atmospheric and sensual, moody and popping.
A Must-Have CD!!!! AWESOME!
author: ChristinThis cd was BEYOND a pleasant surprise!!! From the first track all the way through to the last, I was captured. She writes and plays with such emotion! Some songs made me want to dance and others to cry. The music is flawless and energizing and the lyrics are powerful! Jaen not only has a beautiful and clear voice but a real knack for creating some really rockin tunes. This one will be a permanent fixture in my cd changer. HIGHLY recommended!
