5.0 out of 5 stars Lush, beautiful, oh my my my, December 19, 1999

John Bale (Toronto) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maria (Audio CD)

Changing with every album, Jane Siberry makes her most personal and solid statements on this album -- jazzish, not quite jazz . . . not-Jane and yet very Jane at the same time. "Sweet Pumpkinhead" and the twenty-minute "Oh My My" are definitely highlights. Longtime fans may be put off by this album at first (it is difficult), but as time goes by with repeat listenings, the gifts offered greatly outweight any she has before offered. This album has proven to be controversial among fans, but this work will prove to be one of the best of her career.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1995's Album of the Year, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Maria (Audio CD)

I just love how different the first nine tracks are from the last, and yet they all belong on this album. "Maria" was my clear and away choice for Album of the Year in 1995, and these four years later, I wouldn't change a thing.

A masterpiece by an artist who already has two previous masterpieces in "When I Was a Boy" and "The Walking."

5.0 out of 5 stars Loose, wild brilliance, April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Maria (Audio CD)

A nice retreat from highly structured albums like the also-brilliant "When I Was A Boy." I'm not a jazz fan, yet Jane's take makes me swoon in rapture. The soaring vocals express pure joy. I can't get enough of "Begat Begat."

4.0 out of 5 stars maria
Maria is to be taken as a work, not as separate songs.
Take the time to listen to the entire cd, and you will truly find that this cd is art, and not just great music.
