Album Notes

This local thrush's imminent Superman Won't Take the Call proves both her and her band capable of a husky uplift and rhythmic wallop rarely heard in the female-folkie field. Nashville belters like Joe Dee Messina or Martina McBride would be proud to tear into small-town geo-sociological explorations as earthily popwise as "Tallulah Falls" or "The River" or the Carolina twister romance chronicle "One More Day." And Jennie's fine with blues riffs and Nirvana basslines, too.
*Chuck Eddy, The Village Voice

"This up-and-coming artist should be on everyone's list of albums to buy...Her singing style and lyrics are extremely original; her music is a refreshing change from the grunge wannabes and heavy metal bands".
*Rob Marx, 106.5 The Buzz, Richmond, VA's New Rock Alternative

"This is what you look for in an album - originality, thoughtful lyrics, vibrant vocals, and it just plain rocks"
*Caitlin Lyon, Venus

"Jennie Arnau's dusky alto voice is both half wistful and half defiant...simple emotions that entice spectators".
*Rosemary Harold, Columbia Daily Tribune

"Hot rock'n babe carries a big stick and takes it to the road like only maybe Janis Joplin could. Don't think this band is an almost like. They have their own sound and energy. You go girl".

Blige) and Barb Morrison (A.S.C.A..P Award winner), Superman is finely crafted, richly textured and a powerhouse blend of country, pop, & alternative rock.

Between March & June 2003, Jennie licensed eight songs to VH-1 & MTV for various programming including Born to Diva, and was reviewed in The New York Post, Venus Magazine, & The Village Voice.

REVIEWS

Writer, Performer, Singer-"Superman should take the Call"
author: Jim Arnau
Jennie is one of those artists that writes, plays and performs her wide range of music.In "Superman..." her talent and the excellent members of her band-Adam Lerner, Alan Lerner and Ann Hairston show the range and variety that Jennie is capable. Like her or not, everyone should listen to the first cut on the CD-"Tallulah Falls".

If Superman won't take the call, he should at least check out this CD.
author: Score! Music Magazine
Jennie Arnau's blend of country, pop, and alternative rock is unique and refreshing. She explores small town life in "Tallulah Falls" and "Ain't No Friend". There are only nine songs on this CD (I wanted more!). I prefer the more tender, romantic tracks like "Without It" and "One More Day". If Superman won't take the call, he should at least check out this CD.
