OUT NOW! "... a profound pop-jazz album that connects traditional American pop with the present in a way that has never been done before. "

Stephen Holden, New York Times Read New York Times article

"Veteran Broadway performer Jessica Molaskey is that rare creature: a singer who likes to paint a big canvas as well as a series of miniatures. She combines both her skills in this artful collection of songs that all deal with a kind of unsettled state of emotion. Listen to what she does to Billy Joelís ìSummer, Highland Fallsî or the magic she creates by combining Joni Mitchellís ìThe Circle Gameî with Antonio Carlos Jobinís ìThe Waters of Marchî and youíll realize what a very special kind of artist she is. . "

Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star

"Molaskey has tried on several skins recording for PS but this one looks to be the one that hits it out of the park. Molaskey brings together Jimmy Cliff, Joni Mitchell, old tin pan alley tunes, some originals and brings it under one umbrella with a modern spin. A tasty collection that hangs together in a way that you wouldnít suspect, vocal and classic song fans have their sure fire treat on tap here. Tasty and tasteful throughout."

Mid-West Record

"Jessica Molaskey duets with her hubby, John Pizzarelli in two mini-medleys: "I Want to Be Happy" / "Sometimes I'm Happy" and "The Circle Game" / "The Waters of March." On her own, she's bewitching in an eclectic repertoire ...Why this woman isn't a star of the first rank is beyond me. "

TheaterMania.com

"It is becoming mighty difficult to write about Jessica Molaskey, who has just favored us with her fourth solo album from PS Classics. How many ways can you say wonderful? Molaskey has a voice that is at once soothing and invigorating. High musicality mixed with intelligent word delivery, or acting if you will; that's what Ms. Molaskey gives us."
