<< BACK TO PRESS Art comes easy to Jessica Rhaye. Whether she's honing her graphic design skills at New Brunswick's College of Craft and Design, or writing sugar-sweet folk music inspired by the records of her youth, the Canadian siren makes quite the impression. Warm, whimsical and winsome, her latest record, Good Things, bursts with rootsy instrumentation, lyrical candor and sun-kissed melodies that have drawn comparisons to everyone from Veruca Salt's Nina Gordon to pop powerhouse Jewel. Moving into more organic territory than her past triumphs - the modestly majestic self-titled debut, and its accomplished follow-up Short Stories - the new record benefits from countless tours across Canada, stints in Africa, the states and a canvassing of the UK. |
