"Jane O'Brien" CD Review
Irish jazz pop with emotion
Jane O’Brien describes her music as "Irish jazz pop with a lot of emotion“ — this also applies to her current album, which carries her name. Comparisons with Björk, Tori Amos and Sinead O’Connor spring to mind — although the Dubliner, who has lived in Hamburg since the beginning of the nineties and before that in Barcelona, has developed her own individual style. Her warm and resonating voice creates just the right atmosphere to enjoy sitting back and relaxing in a leather armchair at the end of a hard day, with soft lighting and a Daiquiri. This is lounge music, which doesn't flow in one ear and out the other, on the contrary, these are songs enriched with elements of folk, jazz and pop which invite their own form of listening and relaxation.
Irischer Jazzpop mit Gefühl
Jane O’Brien selbst beschreibt ihre Musik als „coolen irischen Jazzpop mit viel Gefühl“ — das trifft auch auf das aktuelle ihren Namen tragende Album zu. Die Assoziationen zu Björk, Tori Amos oder Sinead O’Connor liegen auf der Hand — jedoch versteht es die gebürtige Dublinerin, die seit den 90ern in Hamburg zu Hause ist und davor in Barcelona gelebt hat, ihren ganz eigenen Stil herauszuarbeiten. Warm und voluminös sorgt ihre Stimme für genau die Atmosphäre, die es braucht, wenn man in ledernen Sesseln und bei mattem Licht mit einem Glas Daiquiri seinen Feierabend genießen möchte. Lounge-Musik, die nicht in das eine Ohr hinein und aus dem anderen wieder hinaus fließt, sondern Lieder, die angereichert mit Elementen aus Folk, Jazz und Pop eine eigene Art des Zuhörens und Entspannens bewirken.
