5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Blend of Pop, Acoustic Rock, and R&B, December 26, 2005

Jade Anderson's debut is so fresh it's almost weird. In a world filled with bubblegum pop belting mini divas, Jade's debut stands out like a colorful hat at a funeral. Her tracks are filled with meaningful lyrics, and half of the fun of "Dive Deeper" is trying to figure out what the songs are saying, the meaning of it all. You get off to a good start with Sugarhigh, but other highlights include the real life "Constant Talking," the undeniably catchy "Forbidden Fruit," and the lyrically beautiful "Dive Deeper." Like the old saying "you have to kiss many frogs to find your prince," Ms. Anderson's album is a rare find that's a refreshing change from Britney, Hilary, and Lindsay.

I did not know until very recently that this album had been released at all. I remember when the single "Sugar High" came out in early 2002 and how I enjoyed it a lot. But then, Sony canceled her album release in America!

Even though I was impressed with "Sugar High," I was not expecting the breadth of good material that makes up "Dive Deeper"! Anderson-- the daughter of Jon Anderson, lead singer of Yes -- writes lyrics that are pensive, well-organized, and often poetic. The production -- courtesy of her and "EG" -- is supple and engaging. It is characterized by an innate soulfulness, but made accessible to the teen market that Sony was no doubt pushing Anderson towards --without the gimmickry.

Highlights include the self-liberation anthems "For Your Lessons" and "Nothing More," which both speak to breaking away from toxic characters in one's life; and the light and joyful "Sweet Memories," an ode to enjoying the present which shows remarkable foresight on Anderson's part (I believe she was only 16 at the time). Throughout the album, her vocal delivery is believable and fun. She may not have power pipes, but she convinces listeners of the authenticity of her words with charm and flair.

Overall, "Dive Deeper" is a very coherent and enjoyable album that should've gotten more of a chance outside of Japan!
