About the Artist

Jillian Ann is a creat-a-holic.

Jillian Ann had an impactful independent film career, an interesting modeling career (that took her all over the world) and now, like a colorful songbird, sitting on a rickety branch, in the middle of all the seasons at once, Jillian Ann has launched herself into the world of music.

Releasing, Neverland, via Emperor Penguin Recordings, Jillian Ann gives a unique gift to the world. A glittery, sparkling gift that only she can give. A complete package of wondrous sounds, visions and thoughts.

Product Description

Jillian breathes a new category of music into the world: Avant-Pop. Layered electronics rooted with simplistic, yet powerful, piano and an icicle-voice projected forth by a highly interesting style delivery.

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

By	M. Prather (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jillann Ann puts out some really good avant pop..., August 25, 2003

By A Customer

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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonder Music Artist, August 2, 2003

By	"ckittredge" (Florida, United States) - See all my reviews

I started listening to Jillian Ann's music about 6 months ago. I was instantly hooked on her style. Her music is smooth and relaxing most of the time. I just ordered this CD and can't wait to get it. I bought her other cd, Elucido: Beta, and have completely worn it out already. Jillian Ann, Keep up the good work!
