This review is from: When You Dream (Audio CD)

Hearing (and being captivated and entranced by) "Into the Blue" on the Season 2 Finale of "Castle" sent me out to the internet to find out who and what. A little research and I decided that I was willing to risk a few dollars and roll the dice on what looked to be intriguing music, so I placed my order for the CD.

I live on a small island in the South Pacific, and mail takes a long time to get here, but when it arrived, I immediately stuck it in my CD player. I really didn't have much in the way of preconceptions, having heard only the one song, which was probably a good thing. Because SJ-H's music wasn't *like* anything I'd heard before! As a friend who listened to it in my car while we were driving said, "I don't know how to classify it; it's different." Which it definitely is ... but only in the best ways possible!

The first and most obvious are the amazing qualities of the vocals. Wow!!! Emotional depth *and* interesting stylings. Next are the melodies themselves and the arrangements, which, while lean (or uncluttered--definitely a good thing), communicate as effectively as Ms. Jackson-Holman's voice. Those were the things that kept me hooked through the first three or four listens, just luxuriating in the richness of the sound.

But then I started paying more attention to the lyrics, and Wow! again. There are three or four phrases on this album that would have been worth the purchase price simply for the poetry found on the liner notes, even without the music. My favorite: "from my pen the red ink ebbs and flows--my paper stained with my yearning to be free".

So if you're considering purchasing this album, go for it--without hesitation! You won't be sorry ... and you'll keep finding new reasons to listen again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Album. Definitely worth purchasing the whole thing., July 1, 2010

Possibly the best debut of 2010. This album is great from start to finish. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes Adele, Feist, Norah Jones or the like.
