With a couple of singles released here in the US, Jessy gets a full album release, and its a worthy addition to your collection if you like Lasgo, Ian Van Dahl, Becky Baeling, DHT, and groups of that style. There's an abundance of trancey sounding tracks (1,2,4,6,9,10,11,12), two that are more simple house (3,5), a slow jam (7), and two ballads (8, 13). A nice addition to this release would have been a couple of the extended versions of the singles as bonus tracks, which has become a standard practice with artists like this, including Kate Ryan and Milk Inc. Tracks are:

1. how long

2. head over heels

3. i'll get over you

4. tell me

5. white lies

6. silent tears

7. stuck on you

8. rain

9. what if

10. enchanted

11. look at me now

12. where did i go

13. dancing in the dark

Jessy is the newest Belgian sensation for vocal trance/dance music. If you like Sylver, Lasgo and Kate Ryan, you will love this CD. Enjoy

Music can move, enlighten and give people pleasure like nothing else in this world. The ingredients for this art form is passion, craft and pleasure, otherwise it's a flat experience (much like listening to a elementary school's concert band that plays notes in an attempt to create something).

"Rain" by Jessy is a nice experience overall, however it comes off a bit flat. Jessy the lead singer shows little emotion and she has very little range. At times she raises her voice to hit a higher note or emphasis a word, but generally this is the exception to the rule.

The music moves and is energetic, yet she sings her low flat voice over the top of these raging notes and sounds.
I also cringe a bit when I hear the really cliche lyrics they have chosen. Now being western European and not having English as their mother-tongue, they may be listening to American and British music and trying to emulate those lyrics. I don't know, but the trite lyrics annoy me.

Before you believe I hate this CD, let me tell you that this CD still entertains me, and I enjoy it.
The background music and sounds are excellent. There is beautiful chords and good electronic percussion which shows a lot of energy that add to the tracks. The basic melodies are great and I especially enjoy the two ballads that have minimal instruments thus focusing on her voice.

One excellent note here, is how the CD does not become repetitive. I can't tell you how many songs and CD's in the genre that are maddeningly repetitive! Jessy's "Rain" evades this, thank god and let's us enjoy the melodies and undulating notes.

For Jessy to be successful in the future to a wider audience, I believe she needs more passion... more feeling. When you listen to female singers like Cascada or Kelly Clarkson... their voices show supreme passion and conviction. I don't get that from Jessy.
I do like Jessy's voice, but she needs more Clarkson.... more passion. I want her to convince me and make me believe in her words and music.

Overall, this is a very GOOD CD. Not great and not in my top 10 CD's, but I enjoy the CD.

But don't listen to me, check out the sampler on Amazon and decide for yourself.
