4.0 out of 5 stars An Artist to Watch: Unique and exciting, December 27, 2003

This review is from: Neverland (Audio CD)

The first thing you'll about "Neverland" is how rich and dynamic the songs are. Which is remarkable considering Jillian Ann performs all the music and vocals by herself. This isn't an "Unplugged" album featuring only Jillian and her piano. Many of the songs sounds like a full band recorded them. She works really hard to add depth and complexity to the numbers.

"Neverland" is definitely an alternative album. Very eclectic, similar to New Age techno. And it takes a while to get used to. Simply because you won't hear anything like it on the radio. Which makes it fascinating. Listening to this CD demands your full attention. In order to fully appreciate the sonic landscape, you should listen through headphones with your eyes closed.

My overall impression is that Jillian Ann is a very gifted musician. She has a talent for composing and arranging great music. Her piano playing is very dramatic and moving. The techno beats can sound a bit cold and disconnected. However, her piano playing is so heartfelt and sincere it helps adds an emotional resonance.

"Neverland" is a remarkable first step in Jillian Ann's musical evolution. I highly recommend this album.

Jillann Ann puts out some really good avant pop...

My fave tracks are "Fragile", "Vapour", "Precious"...
If I had to compare her to someone, she comes closes to Tori Amos in her style/presentation of her music...

Jillian Ann is also an artist, model + much more...

I would definitely recommend you pick this cd up...

In spite of her youth, Jillian Ann has remarkable artistic credits to her name, as a writer/poet, model/photographer, painter and now once more as an avant-garde musician. In this unique album she bares her mind and soul, which are every bit as beautiful as her exterior. Highly recommended listening. Check out the title track.
