I have been on the hunt for some new music for a while now, and when I typed in "Charlotte Martin", whose music I adore, on cdbaby's "sounds like" search function, little did I know I would stumble onto such an amazing treasure in Jennifer Lee's music. Yes, I completely agree: she sounds like Tori in her early days (and I love early Tori). But I "get" her lyrics more than I get Tori's, and that accessibility translates into my emotionally connecting more with her music. There's no doubt how she feels when she sings each word--you can feel her anger/despair/etc. in your own heart, and the melodies and lyrics are perfectly entwined. I must say that I love all the songs on this cd, but I particularly love "Liquid Ice"--the middle and the ending... with "Would you ask why like me?" and the piano and string arrangement swirling around her voice... It's incredible. I absolutely blast it in my car. I'm always a sucker for a "tortured" girl who plays the piano, and this cd did not disappoint! Buy it!

Comparisons to Tori Amos's early work are inevitable, particularly with the somewhat derivative booklet art, but Jennifer Lee's Beyond the Frame is a lovely album in its own right.  I look forward to seeing what she might do when she comes into her own voice and style, but until then this is definitely worth a purchase.  Gorgeous vocals and piano.
