"Less Than Perfect For This World
What are people saying about jen’s music?
" Uber Alles California! Jen Bye is a godsend with the voice of an impish cherub with a tiny chip on her shoulder. Delivering her conflicting tales of loathing and loving, her trial and triumph enduring soul is exposed with a syrupy smugness...it’s practically impossible to find anything disappointing amidst her music. Bravo JB!" ~Ant Standring, Glasswerk.co.uk
“We hear thousands of songs and CDs and it's rare to come across as compelling an album that demands as much time to listen.This is a complete work - with a satisfying and substantial window into Bye's artistry and attitudes. The self-incrimination, surviving self-esteem, & genuine appreciation of life that is woven through all the lyrical lines & music are an artistic time capsule & one that should be opened again & again." ~ Earbuzz.com
“What makes Bye’s new record powerful are the places she takes the listener; places of different vantage points from which and within the audience can feel the songs. Sometimes you’re taken back into the past as though it’s in the thick of a painful present. Sometimes the feeling is retrospective like an old faded photograph in the mind that never seems to fully decay. All of it’s real and none of it is.†~Greg Debonne, musicmanor.com
“Jen Bye delivers hard-hitting pop that isn't afraid to rock. Confronting topics such as personal liberation and conformity, Bye's lyrics cover a wide spectrum of emotions. And when presented by the singer's stirring voice, they are made all the more evocative. With a continuing knack for penning original song structures & continued improvement in an already masterful ensemble, there's no reason for the industry not to take note of an engaging, at times fiery, act like this one.†~Albert Vega, Music Connection Magazine
“This is an eclectic approach to songwriting that crosses genre barriers and stays true to the artist’s vision.â€

Independent singer/songwriter, jen bye , has produced a well-crafted eclectic alternative pop/rock CD with bad sister music's 2007 release of “Less Than Perfect For This Worldâ€.
This album is laced with interesting stick-in-your-head melodies, boldly honest lyrics and fearless conviction. This introspective collection of songs has age, wisdom, a little damage, and an incisive edge that doesn't sacrifice hope for cynicism.
Available NOW at CD Baby
