Album Notes

"The track 'Never To Blame' has top 10 hit oozing from every note."
Woman Radio

"Seedling's ingredients include several dreamy pop numbers, (a la David Gray and Dido ), a handful of lush country Eagles flavour anthems and a light sprinkling of funky, edgy R&B tunes. The result is a delicious combination of songs which sit beautifully together on one , very pleasing album." New Music Review

"... achingly beautiful ... she is a wonderfully charismatic singer. "
Total Production Magazine

"We discovered this album and Sunday morning chillin' hasn't been the same since. "
Out In London

"Jane is a gifted songwriter and emotionally charged vocalist"
Female Songwriter

Just over a year ago, Jane was a housewife and mother of three who just happened to write great songs. She'd given up on any musical dreams for over a decade whilst she raised a family. But in 2002, Jane discovered she had a fan base on the Internet - so she took out a bank loan to pay for some studio time, dusted down her guitar and recorded an album of songs she'd written over the last ten years.

This album was CLOSE UP AND REAL which has now received staggeringly good reviews and sold over 2000 copies. Tracks have also ben featured in a film about the late R&B singer Aaliyah.

SEEDLING is Jane's second album and was written and recorded during a particularly difficult time in her life.

Sometimes dark and reflective, often upbeat and feather light, the songs vary in style and range from full on country rock to Dido-esque pop and Norah Jones style cocktail lounge grooves.

SEEDLING is a mature and intelligent collection of tracks all penned by Jane which firmly establishes her as a songwriter to take seriously.

SEEDLING features some of the very best musicians in the UK including players from Lenny Kravitz and Vannessa Paradise amongst others and the songs beautifully demonstrate Jane's versatility as a writer, vocalist and arranger.

An assertion made here
author: Existing
I disagree very strongly indeed with the absurd assertion that the Corrs cannot "write decent songs." What a load of bobbins. :(

Great vocals
author: The Mag
This record isn`t just about a neat collection of songs with enough musical diversity to have wide appeal and enough stability at it`s core to weave a thread of unity between the songs. It`s not even about the great vocals in "Show Me Where..." and the acoustic "Place to Find You". This is about Jane`s dream and about how her life has turned out.

Wonderfulo songwriting
author: Cross Rhymthms
Following on from the good reception of her first album in 2002, 'Close Up And Real', British singer/songwriter Jane's second CD was recorded during what is described as a "painful time" in her life. This is clearly reflected in her lyrics, which look at saying goodbye to loved ones, waiting for signs to carry on, plus the themes of blame and responsibility. But during her painful journey, she has used the time wisely to touch upon several musical genres, many of which feature on the album, which she has dedicated to "those who wait." From the Bob Dylan-esque use of acoustic guitar and harmonica of the first track, "Never Thought It Was Love", Jane immediately moves to floaty and echoey pop for her second offering, "Place To Find You". And just when you think you know what's coming next, the funk-influenced introduction of" Show Me Where The Lonely People Go" takes you down another musical road. These musical twists and turns continue through the 10 songs and make use of everything from country rock to Enya-like atmospheres in what is a predominantly upbeat and certainly enjoyable collection from someone who deserves recognition as a singer/songwriter. The last words on her lyric sheet are "you were waiting so long." I hope she doesn't have to for much longer.

Well produced & well structured
author: Gigs Unlimited
Jane is a singer/songwriter/guitarist that has been writing for a long time, but only over the last few years has done anything about it. Her 10 track, 2nd album is a range of calm acoustic and pop songs. The album is very well produced (Mark Street) and the songs are well structured. Some of the tracks conjure up sounds of modern country and western, while others have the ‘wanna be high street chart’ sound to them.Jane’s vocal sound is a kind of American country Dido, with about the same range. It has a sweet general sound to it...These are the types of songs that would go well on a soundtrack to a Bridget Jones type film or possibly do as background music. ‘Never To Blame’ has a bit of a Zero 7 sound, nice percussion, a laid back style, and a good groove
