Product Description

The bright, colorful and clever PRISCILLA RENEA is a pop-soul singer-songwriter is like a walking Jukebox with a style whose sounds unite like an iPod on shuffle. She is a true product of the Internet generation with an innate knowledge towards self-promotion getting herself discovered on YouTube by millions after she posted her original, catchy, pop songs from her bedroom in Vero Beach, Florida. Full-length debut Jukebox is aptly named, for it refl ects 20 year old Priscilla's wide-ranging musical sensibilities the scope of her talents. First single "Dollhouse" is an uptempo empowerment anthem that shows off Priscilla's airy vocals and earnest lyrics. Over a driving electro-pop beat from BENNY BLANCO (Britney Spears, 3OH!3) and LIL' RONNIE (Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly), Priscilla sings fiercely for relationship independence and chides an insensitive partner with the line "I ain't a doll, this ain't a dollhouse!". "Dollhouse" bears Priscilla's immediacy and relevance, the two hallmarks that distinguish her from scores of aspiring singers and elevated her to an internet sensation. "Lovesick" is a bouncy, piano-powered pop; "Rockabye" is a funky, neck-snapping sermon about premature parenthood. Another standout track is "Mr. Workabee," tongue-in-cheek tsk-tsk to a promiscuous male known to "often forget he has a queen at home." Priscilla performs many of the guitar and piano parts herself. Outside contributors are equally well-chosen: Atlanta-based production team Power Entertainment (T.I., Ludacris), Brian Kidd (Enrique Iglesias, Britney Spears, Nappy Roots), and legendary Danish duo Soulshock & Karlin (Madonna, Seal, Whitney Houston, Keyshia Cole).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh and Amazing...., January 14, 2010

Probably like many people, I first heard Renea's "Dollhouse" single and immediately categorized her in the commercial pop genre. However, I liked it enough to go and look up Renea on youtube and was floored by the some of her acoustic performances of "Rockabye Baby" and "Lovesick". The majority of this cd rides the line between experimental r&b and indie piano driven adult pop. (Actually no other song on this cd even remotely sounds like "Dollhouse") I know this is weird but think a voice like Rihanna singing like Regina Spektor over music like Sara Barellis. Not only are Renea's voice and music fresh though, but the majority of lyrics are certainly above average and in many cases excellent. Love this album!!!!
**Also, it's of note that Renea is quite a talented musician as well (plays both guitar and piano on the album)

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't even send it, July 27, 2010

This review is from: Jukebox (Audio CD)

I was really frustrated when making this purchase.
I've heard most of the songs on this album and I know most of them are really good.

I decided I would purchase this product and then I started the wait.
I ordered it 6/22/2010, I still haven't seen it.
It frustrated me because I waited for it and really wanted to look elsewhere to purchase it but I was afraid it would arrive anyday. So, I still havent gotten it but its way past the date it was supposed to arrive and now Im upset that they wasted my time or didnt contact me to let me know it wouldnt be possible to carry through delivering the product thet claimed to have.
Thanks alot " jenniescds " for giving me a bad Amazon experience and making me not wanna trust anyone on here.
