"Jen Kearney's improvement has been steady and exquisite. Her versatility is outstanding, whether it's on rock-edged material that she pulls from the heart, or R&B-infused songs that she pulls from the soul.''
-- STEVE MORSE, a longtime Boston Globe correspondent who has also contributed to Billboard and Rolling Stone - Freelance Writer (Nov 12, 2009)
Lowell musician Jen Kearneyâs latest work blends jazz riffs, latin rhythms, Motown grooves and a rock nâ roll sensibility into one cohesive album that should be savored like a fine meal, not scarfed down like a drive-through cheeseburger at 2 a.m. after a Saturday night out.
âThe Year of the Oxâ is a concept album where the songs were carefully crafted and then put together in a specific order.
Kearneyâs voice has been compared to Stevie Wonder and on this album it sometimes sounds like him; sometimes like a young, screechy Michael Jackson; sometimes like a booming Joan Armatrading; and sometimes itâs uniquely her. But the music that accompanies her is truly original, blending a mixture of sounds including jazz flute with Motown saxophone, latin drums, and caressing backup vocals.
