The Inside Pulse:
In the same vein as Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, and Vanessa Carlton comes Jasy Andrews, the newest female singer-songwriter. With her stark acoustic sound, mainly piano accompanied by some guitar, Andrews is hoping to carve a niche out for herself with her solo debut, Little Girl, an ambitious double LP. But can the newcomer carry a double disc her first time out?
Positives:
Andrews has a lovely voice, with a haunting quality to it. Her arrangements are sparse but do a great job of highlighting her vocal range.
Negatives:
18 songs is way too much. There’s not enough difference between the songs; after a while, they begin to run together and sound the same. What begins as a promising listening experience becomes tedium.
Cross-breed:
Tori Amos mixed with Vanessa Carlton.
Reason to buy:
If you miss Lilith Fair, then you may enjoy this album. Jasy Andrews is an artist with promise, but tries to say too much her first time out.
