i first got acquainted with jessie baylin's music on myspace, before she was signed. i bought both of her cds offered and fell in love with her music. after buying her major label debut, firesight, i can only say that she will endure and continue to blossom. every time that i listen to firesight, which is ALL the time, every song makes me smile, as it is beautifully executed. she has zeroed in on everyone's common desires and fears, hopes and dreams and she does it with the utmost of talent and class. if you have not yet experienced her music, you are definately missing out. she is a wise and heartfelt tunesmith and one hell of a wailer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary, eclectic adult-alt pop, June 26, 2008

This review is from: Firesight (Audio CD)

Although mostly pop-oriented and tailormade for placement in the background of a primetime TV drama, this album also encompasses wisps of jazzy cabarets with a hint of the twang of Baylin's hometown of Nashville. Several singers spring to mind, notably Dusty Springfield, Phoebe Snow and Maria Muldaur along with numerous modern musicmakers -- an eclectic mix, to be sure. Tonally, Baylin's voice shares a familiar, bluesy white-girl rasp with that of Amy Whitehouse, although her music is decidedly much mellower. Spotting similarities with Norah Jones wouldn't be misplaced, either, since one of Baylin's songwriting partners is Jesse Harris, who is also one of Norah's crew. This is a fine record for "mature" music fans looking for something new that doesn't fit into easy modern pop categories. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Music Guide)

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't get any better than this!, July 26, 2008

Jessie Baylin has put together an album that combines the best of the sounds of Nashville, folk and Pop! Her song writing definetly comes from her heart and shows in every song. 'See How I Run', 'Was I On Your Mind' and 'Not A Day More' are stand out tracks for me with the rest of the songs convincing me that 'Firesight' is the kind of album that just does not come around very often. Jessie Baylin (Firesight) is a True-Winner in the musical world! There's no disapointment here...ONLY GREAT MUSIC!
