More than a bunch of noise

By Nathan,
If a CD was graded by how much the artist smiled, Jessie Daniels would get and F. But that is not the case and her self titled debut is far from failed.
The music style is pop/rock which, for the most part, is rather impressive for an opening album. Jessie Daniels voice is very good. Most of her songs are up-beat and have snappy tunes like her first two singles ("the noise" and "everyday"), but her lighter stuff is also pretty solid. The heaviest songs on her CD are the single "what I hear" and "hello/good bye", which Daniels goes a little over board with.
"What happened" and "next to you" are pretty smooth pop songs which is the CD is built around. Some of her lighter music includes: "it's a wonder" and "hold me now". At the end of the disc there is a remix of the song "hold me now" featuring Tom Pellerin from Overflow. It's a little odd that the remix would be of a soft song to a soft song, with no apparent change.
Although Jessie Daniels uses Gods name as much as Kelly Clarkson, He is still implied and is the main factor of the album. However, most of her songs are a little shallow, with none that have stand out lyrics. "hello/goodbye" and "What happened" are not bad, but could be taken for pathetic. Though "next to you" is silly the messages of the CD are firm.
Jessie Daniels with her first album is already ahead of some of her peers; her debut is surprisingly impressive on most musical areas. Her the lyrics could stand for some improvement, but after this CD there should be a large welcoming for her second album.
