Editorial Reviews

Jenifer Jackson is a singer’s singer and a writer’s writer. She’s that rare breed of performer who knows that emoting for the sake of pyrotechnics has little to do with truly delivering a song. On Jenifer’s Bar/None debut, she smolders and she soars. So High is a terrific mix of her own compositions, from finely crafted pop ("The Power Of Love") to ‘60s-flavored folk-rock ("Down So Low") with a surprising and very satisfying detour into Philly-style soul ("Got To Have You"). Her songs are full of deep emotion, desire, and hope, and they’re performed to perfection. Longtime fans of her first two albums, Slowly bright (1999) and Birds (2001), will immediately recognize a newfound confidence in her work. As Pure Music.com put it, "The way she sings makes the most cynical dreamer want to fall in love again, the high risk notwithstanding."

The album was prduced by Pat Sansone from The Autumn Defense. Much of the work was done in the summer in singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur’s Manhattan studio, where Pat and Jenifer had the luxury of experimenting while Arthur was out on the road.

"It made the process so much fun because we weren’t watching the clock," Jenifer reveals. "Not having time constraints really freed up our creativity. And it was air-conditioned."

You like Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye? Get this right now, you won't be disappointed. It's Jenifer Jackson's third album and it's as good as the previous two, even her more upbeat and uplifting. This great singer has the knack for making feel good, each listen is pure happiness. If you have an ear for melodies, you'll find your paradise as well - I haven't heard such subtle tunes that much, along with other great talents like Ron Sexsmith and Joe Pisapia - they should be famous!
Get her other records as well, heaven knows they are worth the purchase!
