Album Notes

Zaba Grace is unafraid to take risks. Her first step towards making her debut record “My Own Skin” was nothing less than uprooting her entire life in Ohio to move to Virginia. Seizing upon an opportunity to record with producer Chris Kress (Dave Matthews Band, Ben Kweller,
My Morning Jacket, Naked Puritans) Zaba started her entire life over, finding a new house, a new job, and making new friends. Her second step was to open her very personal and sometimes painfully revealing journals to select group of co-writers: Shannon Mier, Lance Brenner (Naked Puritans), Will Hummel, and Andy Waldeck (Earth to Andy). As
co-writing sessions took place and songs began to take shape Zaba increased her work-load and began intensive voice lessons maturing slowly but surely from a total neophyte to a confident vocalist. As poise and assurance grew in her delivery, recording in Nashville, TN and Charlottesville revealed bravely intimate remembrances wrapped in a sophisticated power-pop sheen. In her now fully realized songs, Zaba pulls no punches with her past to bring you completely into the experiences of her old life. The problem of evil (God), purging of pain (Sorry Charlie), the surprise of human grace (Angel and Free) and the beginning of healing (Broken Heart) are the dominant themes of this first batch of songs. Take a listen to “My Own Skin” and what you’ll find is a direct, personal, confessional pop record, the first result of Zaba Grace’s remarkable personal daring.

Excellent vocals with great musical support

Really enjoyed the edgey, emotional vocals and much of the lyrics. Zaba's great voice is well supported by clean, exciting guitar work as well. My favorite song is Sorry Charlie. I have already recommended the CD to other women working through difficult childhood experiences. The CD is window into one woman's therapy; an example of making something productive out of anger and trauma.

Thoughtful and emotion laden pop with a dark edge.
author: Blues Bunny
                            
Thoughtful pop with a dark edge featuring some excellent and often thought provoking lyrics, all delivered with an energetic freshness that helps it stand from the crowd. The opening track “God” is, on the surface at least, a straight forward rock song except it hits you with surprisingly philosophical lyrics when you’re least expecting them. “Voices” is the real highlight however with its emotion laden lyrics and rhythmic changes of pace that elevate it above what you’d normally expect from a pop song. Zaba deserves credit for eschewing the superficial and instead going for music from her heart and the depths of her soul – not for her the easy option of a chorus full of ‘la-la-la’s’ when she has something to say. These songs are catchy enough to grab your attention, yet challenging enough to hold it.

While listening to My Own Skin, I rocked out while being personally moved and inspired. Zaba's lyrics and music give a solid voice to the many who are unable to speak out. The world needs this music!
